Marc-Andre Fleury to End His Career With the Canadiens? Two Experts Have Now Debated the Possibility
The prospect of goaltender Marc-André Fleury joining the Montreal Canadiens for a final season is a hot topic among Quebec hockey fans. This scenario was spiritedly debated by popular hosts Jean-Charles Lajoie and Tony Marinaro on the TVA Sports show "JiC."
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:
"Trading Allen is a priority for me, and losing Primeau wouldn't bother me. A bowl of cereal before bed, and I won't have nightmares!" – Jean-Charles Lajoie.
Tony Marinaro, however, strongly disagreed with the idea of bringing Fleury to Montreal.
"A rebuilding team going for a goalie my age!" - Tony Marinaro.
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?
The idea of Fleury in the Canadiens' colors remains a fleeting thought, with various factors and opinions shaping the debate.
