Haydn Fleury indicates he did not enjoy his time with the Carolina Hurricanes

Once a highly-touted prospect after being drafted seventh overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in 2014, Haydn Fleury was never able to find his stride in Raleigh. More often than not, he was considered a seventh or eighth defenceman at best, and often found himself back in the AHL or sitting in the stands as a healthy scratch. Fleury seems to be getting into the lineup more often with Seattle and it appears he's enjoying it there much more than his time in Carolina.

Fleury was interviewed following the Kraken's win over the Washington Capitals on Sunday. He was asked how he thought his career had changed since leaving Carolina at the trade deadline last season for Anaheim.

"I think it got better in Anaheim," said Fleury. "And, I don't know, I'll leave it at that."

After finishing last season with Anaheim, Fleury was taken by Seattle during the expansion draft. He has two goals in nine games this season and has been averaging just over 16 minutes of ice-time per game over the last five.
