Fleury and Galipeau would make two nice rookies in Laval next season
They just better not miss out on Galipeau and offer the kid the same thing that the highest bidder offers.
Do you think Fleury could play some NHL games next year?
Highly doubty, but with Bouchard coaching the farm, nothing is impossible...Do you think Fleury could play some NHL games next year?

Juulsen looked very good when called up, but more he was playing, more you could see he still had things to learn in the AHL, such as protecting himself better... I think we shouldnt rush him or Fleury, they will be good but I would rather let guys like Lernout (who has been pretty decent IMO in his last callup) and Benn fighting for the last RD spot, at least for the first part of the season...We can't know that if he hasn't at least played some pro games in Laval. Like I did with Juulsen, I think Fleury has NHL written all over him. With Juulsen, I felt this way when I watched him a few times in Everett. I felt he needed at least a full year in AHL to be sure he adapts to the pro game. However, he didn't need much. Part of his call up was circumstantial, but he hasn't looked out of place in the NHL.
I feel the same way about Fleury. But like I did with Juulsen, I think he will need AHL time to adapt to the pro game.
