Marc-Andre Fleury officially linked to two stanley Cup contenders
Marc-Andre Fleury is definitely in the twilight of his career, but he is still a solid NHL goalie with loads of playoff experience. The Minnesota Wild don't look to be playoff bound, and thus Fleury may be on the block.
Top NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has linked Fleury to two different teams, both of which are favourites for the Stanley Cup this year. A three time Stanley Cup champion, former first overall pick Mark Andre Fleury has shown that he is a dependable man for nearly 2 decades. The exact type of player a team would want to bring for a deep run.
With the playoffs coming up and the trade deadline even earlier on March 8 it is seeming more and more likely than Marc-Andre Fleury will be traded, likely to a contender to give one last try at a cup.
Insider Elliotte Friedman has linked Fleury to the Carolina Hurricanes and the Colorado Avalanche.
"I'll tell you this: Marc-Andre Fleury has the right to call his shot... but, if we get to a point where the Wild are out, to me Colorado is one of those teams that is gonna ask 'Marc-Andre Fleury would you be interested in this?'
The other team that screams Fleury to me is Carolina. That's the other team I look at and say if Marc-Andre Fleury wants to go somewhere they will ask him."
