IF Fleury only cared about money and NOT if he can win another cup, and KA knew this … and IF Fleury was open to the idea, KA could throw 2 years at 8-9 mil per at him. it would not affect Signing any young gun for the 22-23 season AND the 23-24 season. Fleury would be a terrific mentor, veteran and leader for all the younger guys and the team overall.
YES it’s a lot of “if’s” but throwing a bunch of stupid money at a quality vet who can lead on and off the ice for the next two years will be ok as far as KA and the cap are concerned. At least that’s how I see it.
