Miss the past few games?
He's a very good goalie who has been languishing in a poor defensive system the past 5 years. If we don't re-sign him, someone else surely will. Now, that being said, I don't want him resigned at 5M+ a year for what he can do. We can get more consistent goaltending cheaper, IMO.
My problem with Fleury is that he is unreliable. He can look great for a few games, then easily misplay the puck or flop around out of position trying to make an acrobatic save. He's getting older and needs to simplify his style if he wants to continue to make the big bucks in the NHL.
We really should make decisions off of 3 games in October (2 of those to non-playoff teams) before we use the last 5 years. My problem with him is he is bad at stopping the puck.
