MARC-ANDRE FLEURY GIVEN SOFT DEADLINE TO MAKE DECISION WITH WILD

Marc-Andre Fleury's 2021-22 season obviously did not end the way that he wanted it to, but he did have a solid run with the Wild. Over the course of 11 games with the team, he posted a 9-2-0 record with a .910 SV% and 2.74 GAA along with a 2-3 -0 record, .906 SV%, and 3.06 GAA in the playoffs.

Wild general manager Bill Guerin is trying to figure out what to do with the goaltending situation regarding the team, and he has decided to give somewhat of a deadline to make a decision to sign with the team or test free agency. Guerin explained that he would like to know the veteran goaltender's plans before the draft in case he needs to replace Fleury either by trade or free agency.

Guerin and most Wild fans would like to see Fleury back with the team for another possible cup run next season, but it will come down to what team the 37-year-old wants to chase a cup with.

#mnwild GM Bill Guerin is still waiting for Marc-Andre Fleury's decision. Guerin's had good conversation w/ Fleury's agent, Allan Walsh. No firm deadline, but BG'd ideally love to know by draft in case he needs to replace 29 via trade vs. free agency. Guerin's fingers are crossed— Michael Russo (@RussoHockey) July 5, 2022
