Elliotte Friedman Confirms Marc-Andre Fleury's Future With The Minnesota Wild

As the NHL's trade deadline approaches in just over a week, rumors are swirling at their peak intensity for the season. Amidst the speculation, we've received some clarity on the future of a player who's been at the center of trade talks.

The Minnesota Wild have made it official: Marc-Andre Fleury will not be traded.

The 39-year-old goaltender, a legend in his own right, is in the final year of his contract. With the Wild facing struggles this season, it seemed likely that Fleury would be moved to a contender. However, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman confirmed today that the team has no plans to part ways with him.





As for the Wild's playoff aspirations, they've kept them alive with a recent hot streak.

Minnesota has hovered around the playoff bubble for much of the season, often finding themselves on the outside looking in. However, their recent record of 7-2-1 in the last ten games has injected a sense of optimism among fans. With this momentum, the Wild are eyeing one final push to secure a wild card spot in the postseason.
