According to his agent Allan Walsh, multiple NHL clubs phoned on July 1 to inquire about a comeback, as a result of a thin goaltending market. Despite genuine offers, Walsh confirmed Fleury will not be making a return.
Fleury, a 1,051-game regular-season player across 21 years, has 575 wins, second all-time in the NHL, with three Stanley Cups in Pittsburgh (2009, 2016, 2017) and stints in Vegas, Chicago, and Minnesota.
