[Russo] Fleury: “I’m tired of moving. I’m not going anywhere,” even if his role next season with the Wild is more backup than 1A/1B

Well dang. I will give Fleury this, he’s not trying to hog the last of his career. He sees the writing on the wall, accepts it, and is grateful to the team for giving him a place to (probably) play his last season. He admits if he plays like shit, and that honesty is refreshing from athletes.
Class.
He’ll be a great mentor for Gus and Wall.
This is pretty cool considering what an incredible mentor he is. It’s refreshing that in the twilight of his career he’s willing to pass the torch gracefully and with class. I’d love to see him stick around in a different capacity once his contract is up.
Hope he gets a goal, a fight, and a cup next year
It’s funny. The new players don’t want to leave either. They are like no wonder all the current players have homes in the area.
We don’t deserve this guy he is just too good for this world but I am still glad we have him.
He’s 38 and looks nothin over 28.
