Fleury hasn’t spoken to the Blackhawks about a potential trade yet
Tracey Myers of NHL.com: Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury believes his agent Allen Walsh has spoken to the team but he hasn’t. Fleury’s name has been in the rumor mill of late.
“I haven’t personally . No, not much to add to that. I’m sure we will, right? But the deadline’s still weeks away, a month away. Still got a lot of time.”
The pending UFA carries a $7 million cap hit.
“If, if, I move, I would love a chance to win,” Fleury said. “That’s what I play for and that’s what I love. But like I said, it’s still a big if at this point.”
The 37-year old is looking to play at least one more season.
“I don’t have that much left, right? So enjoy this season and hopefully next season again,” Fleury said. “After that, I don’t know.”
