Prospect Info: Cale Fleury

[DangerDave]

Best player on the ice once again. Love the hits

 

[Hannibal]

He’s the real deal. Solid.

He looks so much strong physically when he hits people. Hits like a freaking truck.

 

[Kotkaniemi15]

I think Fleury and Brook are closer prospects than most people think.

I think Leskinen may be also.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of all 3 of them over the next two weeks.

 

[Chippy11]

I prefer him starting in the A rather than 3rd pairing in mtl. A first pairing of Leskinen-Fleury in Laval!
Am I missing someone?

I have Leskinen-Fleury as our 3rd pair in MTL to start the season.

Chiarot can join Alzner in Laval.

 

[The Great Weal]

Might be our most underrated prospect. He has better upside than most think.

There is zero chance Chiarot doesn't make the Habs after getting signed this summer

true but he may be in the press box before too long

 

[THE HOFF]

is fleury that good ? I haven't had a decent enough sample size to have an informed and confident opinion, but he looks good out there. He really does. Seems to pick his moments pretty well.

He's been very good against AHL-level competition so far. We'll see towards the end of the camp how he looks in an environment approximating that of an NHL game. So far he seems more polished than Brook and perhaps capable of challenging Folin for a #6 slot.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

I hope Fleury does really well, to the point where he forces Bergy to trade Petry before he gets the bright idea to extend him for 7 mil per at 33 years old.

Petry will not be traded, fleury will go in the AHL, it's ok to go with youth and speed, but not so fast

 

[get25]

Looks good but let's see in a week how it goes.

 

[yianik]

Fleury is showing potential to be a no.4 D, Petry is a solid no.3 D. Unless Fleury shows offence, he will not be 3D material. But happy with his play for sure.

I wouldn't count on that happening any time soon

 

[Video Coach]

Long term I see Brook slotting higher than Fleury but Fleury is ahead right now. Very solid so far. Yes, let's see how he does with higher competition.

Too bad about Juulsen, maybe he gets back on track but nice to see Fleury step up into this role. Got a real shot at the no 6 spot.

 

[26Mats]

I'm not counting on anything. I'm just going by what I see on the ice.

It's happened before that we brought in a vet and after a handful of games it was clear it didn't work out. Ex Weise, Bryan Allen. Chiarot will get a longer leash. But ultimately his play will dictate his playing time.

 

[26Mats]

Might be our most underrated prospect. He has better upside than most think.

I seem to have underrated him coming into preseason. Looking forward to getting more of a feel for his ceiling.

How good can he be offensively? Defensively? Could he be a top 4? Could he be a number 2?

I have no answers to these questions. But he ckearly at least has very good bottom pair potential.

 

[26Mats]

Well right now it's between Folin and Fleury for the bottom pair rd spot, until Juulsen is ready. The Petry extension decision only needs to be made two full seasons ahead from now (May 2021).

 

[DangerDave]

I have Leskinen-Fleury as our 3rd pair in MTL to start the season.

Chiarot can join Alzner in Laval.

Ideally, this is what we'd go with. No way does Chiarot sit to start the year though seeing as he's MB's big acquisition this summer. I think we'll see both in the NHL this year with Cale maybe even cracking the lineup opening night.

How sad is that...

 

[DangerDave]

How sad is that...

It's sad for sure but FA is not the way to build a team either way. Would have liked to see a trade for a good LD though

 

[Pacciosoftie]

He seems to be a more mobile and offensively gifted version of Emelin. Really surprised and happy with his progression. I think he has a lot of potential. I hope if he continues to impress they will give him chances to move up the lineup and log more minutes as he goes and not limit him.

 

[CauZuki]

How sad is that...

Summer 2017, we are happy to present our BIG UFA signing....KARL ALZNER!
Summer 2018, we are happy to present our BIG UFA signing....MATTHEW PECA!
Summer 2019, we are happy to present our BIG UFA signing....BEN CHIAROT!

I can barely contain my excitement...
