What do you think will happen with Fleury?

[orby]

I think that if Fleury is allowing his agent to state that he is contemplating retirement on social media, he is not going to play for Chicago. He might be more amenable to Pittsburgh than Chicago, but ultimately, if his family wants to stay in Vegas, I think he is likely to retire so he can be with them where they want to be.

Must be something in the water there in Chicago.

Allan Walsh is known for his tendency to go rogue though.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Or, he single handedly brings back Chi-Chi's. It's hard to tell with a restauranting maverick like MAF.

This is Yinzer Jesus, so if he brings back Chi-Chi’s he will definitely need to use those raising the dead skills.

I don't think I've heard anyone say that. Which, admittedly, might not be worth much.

If we're talking the sword of DeBoer, then I thought the consensus was that Walsh wasn't doing anything Fleury disapproved of or ought?

 

[PensPlz]

He's 2 starting seasons away from passing Roy in all time wins, making him #2 all time.

Silly to retire now and throw away a chance to cement your legacy.

 

[Ms Maggie]

He's going to open a critically acclaimed and commercially successful Quebeco-Vietnamese fusion restaurant in the Mexican War Streets.

Fun fact: Vietnamese food has loads of French influence. Colonial days.

Love Fleury. Don't bring him here. Too much drama.

Too much drama for who? HFBoards and the Twitter world? Who cares about that?

Life outside of hockey can be a powerful motivator in these decisions. Technically he could move his family to Pittburgh (or somewhere else closer to Chicago where he would be interested in settling), and play in Chicago that way. It's an hour flight back and forth.

There is no reason why we couldn't have setup a 3-way trade to make it work. Honestly, if it was Rutherford, he would have made it happen. Whether that is good or bad, is a different question.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I've read he's contemplating retirement? I seriously doubt that. He has a few good years left of playing lights out in the regular season only to inexplicably decide he wants to breakdance on the puck in a crucial game late in the playoffs.

I was going to say maybe an allergic reaction to post-season choking...


I wonder if he spoke with coaches / FO about playoff nerves and confided in them he would be fine...
He had another big screw up and vegas says, **** that shit for 7million... GTFO!

 

[Ms Maggie]

For me. And I care about that.

Fleury Fails to report to Chicago and they void his contract as laid out in Paragraph 12 section b of the Standard player contract, and he becomes a free agent.

The NHL has Standard Player Contracts which provide, at paragraph 12, that the team may terminate a player’s contract if the player shall:
(a) fail, refuse, or neglect to obey the Club’s rules governing training and conduct of Players, if such failure, refusal or neglect should constitute a material breach.
(b) fail, refuse or neglect to render his services hereunder or in any other manner materially breach this SPC.

If he doesn't show up that doesnt make him a UFA does it?

And if he retires he can't play at all this season, correct?

UFA's can't just quit and go wherever they desire... what else is there obligation wise?

Regular season isn't the problem... well, for the most part.

Problem is getting your hopes up with making it to the post season only to MAF the **** out of the situation eventually.
It will happen. Only a matter of time.
7 million for that? Nah man, nah.

Yep! Although it depends on which part of Vietnam you come from. Apparently bahn mi is relatively uncommon in the North and was pretty scarce in Vietnam post-war, so it's more of a diaspora thing.

Incidentally Bahn Mi and Ti is (I hope they survived the pandemic) a really great bahn mi place on Butler St. in Lawrenceville.

Have to try it if it's still in business. Thx.

There was a great series ( can't recall name) that highlighted the cuisine of various immigrant communities in the US. One focused on Vietnamese in NOLA. Talk about fusion! Really interesting

Yeah, Viet-Cajun is really really good! NOLA's food scene in general is unreal, but the Vietnamese chefs there are some of the standouts there.

The Vietnamese population in Prague is pretty huge, but they cook mostly northern Viet dishes so it's been a cool couple of years getting to know some really different types of dishes from them.

 

[TySmith4Norris]

Equal odds to Pittsburgh, Chicago, and the field

Can’t see him retiring after a Vezina win

 

[vikingGoalie]

I think Fleury reports to chicago and plays, I mean jarry for fleury with retention makes a lot of sense for both teams but
sounds unlikely as Hextall isn't interested according to the rumblings from our so reliable local reporters

 

[edog37]

I could care less what happens to Flopper. I don't want him back on the team. What Vegas did is simply karma for his agent putting out that stupid picture during the bubble playoffs last year. And no, I don't want Jarry in net either. Point is, Flops left 4 years ago, the fan base needs to move on.

Where's the "don't care" option

I'm not a lawyer, but my friend who is interprets the CBA like this.

I Fleury refuses to play CHI has 3 options.

1 Trade him.
2 Suspend him without pay, but they are still on the hook for his 7 mil cap
3 Terminate his contract.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

You forgot the best option:

It doesn’t matter, what happens to Fleury.


































If ya smellll…

When's the next survivor? Stupid shutdowns... making me admit my guilt pleasure for survivor.
Die-hard fan of the early show and up til about 23... selective viewing now depending on their stupid politics pushing selectee's.

Okay.
I understand 1.
I don't see 2 happening.
3... IF his contract gets wiped from him being a no-show, does he just get to sign anywhere?

Wouldn't that be a breach of something or another rule or watever?
As in, I mean, if any player under contract just decides to quit and void their contract they could just sign anywhere for any money... that seems like that is not so easy an endeavor.

4 would be retire, but then wouldn't he have to sit out that season (the season he retires for) until the following season?
