Fleury signed a 3 year extension with Vegas.
I find it odd how no one of value wanted to go to the Devils, Shero is all sour puss about it.
JVR and Maroon were two guys Shero wanted, Maroon's was a family thing, JVR went to the Flyers instead, lol. I mean they have Hischier and Hall, added Vatanen and have Severson, etc. They even made the playoffs (fluky but still).
Also, it pisses me off that the Bruins got Moore, at 2.75m/yr, I thought he would go for way more, that's such a fantastic contract.
But man, the Devils, they have a great year and suddenly no one wants to stay there, lol.
Price will be 38 by the end of his bloated contract at + 3.5 per season than Fleury so it's not that big of a deal, probably still too much though.That's a ridiculous contract for a 34 year old who just had an unsustainable anomaly of a career year but whatever, love the guy and it shouldn't handicap them too much.
Happy for Flower
It's a lot of money, but I don't think Vegas cares much at this point
I'm really happy for the guy. His post-Pittsburgh career could have gone a lot differently.Good chance he wins #500 before that deal runs out.
$7M cap hit thru 2021-22.
Best news I've heard all of off season. No clambering to sign him as a UFA even though it would make zero sense for either side.
That’s disappointing and seems a bit ridiculous. Go fund me accounts for all!

Well. ****.
Last week at a wrestling show in Philadelphia, Elias (who is quickly becoming Plum Borough’s 3rd best export behind Pat McAfee and my very own father) got some digs in at the crowd in a most enjoyable way. From name dropping Sidney Crosby multiple times to making fun of Rocky and signing a song about the Flyers 43 year Stanley Cup drought it’s a master class in heel technique that can’t be refuted. Soak up the boos to go with the sunshine and have yourself a Saturday.
When the Golden Knights claimed Fleury, goaltending coach Dave Prior felt Fleury could be better than ever before, one of the top five goaltenders in the NHL.
Prior was right.
Simply put, Prior focuses on positioning more than mechanics. He wants his goaltenders to hold their ground to give shooters less of the net. To do that, his goaltenders need to be athletic enough to explode laterally when necessary, as Fleury is. Fleury tweaked his game and was even better than his final numbers showed.
Well, we now know why Dave Prior was bubbling foam over him.So what everybody who doesn’t know **** about goaltending knew about Fleury, was only illuminated to him once he left Pittsburgh?
Nah, the NFL is barely paying out anything. They essentially just tell players they don't have CTE, even if doctors disagree and they don't pay them a penny. There are a million loopholes in that settlement. HBO Real Sports did a segment on it a few weeks back. Disgusting tactics.I'm actually shocked.
Crazy how the NFL got what they deserved but the NHL dodged it.
