Yeah I have a huge problem with anyone absolving the man who has spent the past however months jamming "we need two good goalies!" down our throats of responsibility in this. This isn't like Despres, which came out of nowhere in terms of the public eye and then was denounced later on. We have JR's media statements to hold him accountable for his role in this.
JR likes Fleury, I'm very confident in saying that. He likes goalie depth. Even if he didn't have the only hand in this, he is absolutely complicit.
