Elliotte Friedman: Several sources said that the Vegas Golden Knights met with Marc-Andre Fleury yesterday afternoon and are satisfied how it went. They don’t expect this to be issue going forward.
SinBin.Vegas: TSN analyst Craig Button on the Fleury situation: “The player hires the agent. The agent works for the player. I told the players at every turn, anything that comes out of your agent’s mouth is coming out of your mouth. You’re responsible for it. End of story.”
Button continued: “Marc-Andre Fleury, if he didn’t know, shame on him because he’s responsible for anything that comes out of his agent’s mouth. If I am Kelly McCrimmon it’s really simple, Marc-Andre Fleury, you deal with this, with your teammates and publicly.”
