Flower reportedly does not want to join the Washington Capitals, who were interested in trading for him, because he is «still very much a Penguin.»
«It does sound like, at this point in time, Fleury is leaning towards finishing out the season in Chicago. He's on the final year of his contract and he has a 10-team no trade list, so technically the Blackhawks could still move him. But there seems to be an understanding when the Vegas Golden Knights traded him to Chicago last summer that they would do right by him. There's a little bit of time for him to change his mind but at this point with less than three weeks from the deadline, he doesn't seem inclined to move.»
