Sportsnet’s Eric Francis, who also is reporting on the Flames’ local arena troubles, noted this week that Fleury during the 2016-17 season and “would likely have waived his no-trade clause” to go from Pittsburgh to Calgary if Pens general Denzel Curry Jersey manager Jim Rutherford had struck a deal before March’s trade deadline. The Flames went on to stick with , who has since departed via free agency for the Philadelphia Flyers, and the Penguins, of course, went on to win their second straight Stanley Cup — thanks to efforts from Fleury and in the playoffs. But Udonis Haslem Jersey if Rutherford had, in fact, turned Fleury speculation into an actual Fleury trade, the two-time All-Star admitted he may have welcomed a move to Canada. LeBron James Jersey “I think so,” Fleury said, per Francis. “I think Calgary is a great town and a great hockey team, too.
