All-Time great goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has made a major announcement about his NHL future.

What's Next for Fleury?

Heading into the final year with the Minnesota Wild, Fleury gave an ambiguous response to RDS journalist Alex Antonacci:

<"This could also be my last year. I'm going to try to enjoy it as much as possible."- Marc-Andre Fleury/q>

One of the most beloved players in league history, Fleury was picked first overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2023 NHL Draft. He would go on two win three Stanley Cups with the Pens, before being selected by Vegas in their expansion draft.

Fleury's Thoughts on Vegas

Fleury spent four season as a Golden Knight before being traded to Chicago in 2021. This is what he had to say about seeing his former teammates lift the Stanley Cup:

"I was happy for the players, happy for the guys I played with, especially the guys from the beginning. Our Quebecers too; [Nicolas] Roy, [William] Carrier<, and [Jonathan] Marchessault. But on the other hand, it's disappointing to have missed that moment. To have started with the team and that, two years after I left, they won, it's a shame."/q>
