The Wild's goalie recently surpassed Patrick Roy for the second spot in NHL goalie wins.
With the NHL Trade Deadline approaching, there's talk about the future of this veteran player.
Despite uncertainties in the Wild's playoff chances, especially after a coaching change, there's no immediate plan to trade Fleury.
General Manager Bill Guerin is optimistic about the team's playoff chances.
Pierre LeBrun mentioned on TSN's Insider Trading that while some teams may inquire about Fleury, Guerin is not currently considering a trade.
In an interview with Guerin, LeBrun revealed, "Guerin said they haven't given up on the season; he thinks they can have a second half surge and still believes they can be a playoff team.
But Guerin acknowledged that yes, if they fall out of it, he expects teams to call and expects to have a discussion with Marc-Andre Fleury."
LeBrun emphasized that Fleury and his agent, Allen Walsh, need to discuss the possibility of waiving his no-trade clause for a potential move.
However, Fleury is inclined to move to a destination where he can contribute significantly, not just warm the bench.
LeBrun pointed out potential destinations, including Toronto, Edmonton, New Jersey, and Carolina, where Fleury could play a meaningful role as a mentor or contributor.
The decision ultimately rests on discussions between Fleury, his agent, and potential suitors.
The trade deadline will provide more clarity on Fleury's future as the situation unfolds in the coming weeks.
