"I want to thank all the incredible fans in Vegas as well as my teammates for the incredible 4 seasons together. You have welcomed me and my family from the very beginning and thanks to you, playing games in the Vegas fortress has been one of the greatest joys of my life. We will miss playing games in Vegas, but I am grateful for my journey in your city."
Fleury, who just won the Vezina Trophy and has 1 year left on his contract at an average salary of $7 million did not comment on whether he was reporting to his new Chicago Blackhawks team or announcing his retirement for family reasons, he really did not want to leave Vegas as seen above.
