Last year, while Fleury's stats weren't the pinnacle of his career, they were certainly commendable. In his 46 appearances, he recorded a .908 save percentage and a 2.85 goals-against-average, culminating in a 24-16-4 record. Even in this preseason, he has demonstrated that his skills are intact, not to mention his ever-present sense of humor.
This season, he's anticipated to serve as Minnesota's secondary goaltender, having been overshadowed by Filip Gustavsson .
According to NHLTradeRumors.com, the Tampa Bay Lightning may want to bring Fleury onboard. This speculation emerged after the announcement of their star goalie, Andrei Vasilevskiy, being sidelined due to a back injury at the start of the season. With numerous goalies being connected to Tampa recently, Fleury stands out as a reliable interim solution during Vasilevskiy's recovery. While Tampa doesn't necessarily need a superstar goalie for the early season, Fleury aligns with their needs. For the Wild, trading Fleury could offer valuable future assets, especially since he doesn't factor into their long-term strategy.
