Marc-André Fleury, approaching free agency at the end of the current season, has subtly hinted at retirement. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see him play another season. The question arises whether the Canadiens should consider this possibility.
Before delving into that, the current goaltending situation in Montreal needs addressing. Questions surround Jake Allen's future with the team - whether to trade or keep him. There are also considerations about Cayden Primeau's capability as a backup and Samuel Montembeault's role as either a future number 1 or an excellent backup goalie. Jean-Charles Lajoie expressed his view humorously:
A duo of Quebec goaltenders would certainly please many fans. Marc-André Fleury is an exceptional goalie with an extraordinary career, a great teammate, and a seasoned veteran. His addition could potentially benefit the team in the short term, but why would he want to end his career under the intense pressure of Montreal?
