Weekes: Marc-Andre Fleury back to the Wild on 1 year deal / Dreger reports it's not true

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Will wait for more confirmation before putting this as a confirmed signing.

5 minutes later edit: Weekes deleted his tweet in case you can't figure out what happened.

Goalie market getting spicy now!

 

[BruinsBtn]

Weeks does it again.

Good for Minnesota, they looked good going into the playoffs. Boldy is a stud too.

 

[Forge]

I was not correct about him going to Colorado

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Good for Minny - Wonder if that makes Talbot expendable?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Good for Fleury, I think he fits really well with Minnesota.

The off-season goalie market is going to get real spicy. Not a lot of guys and a lot of teams who need a starter.

toronto front office should be clenching their cheeks now lol

 

[KingsHockey24]

Wasn't Cam Talbot an All-Star?

Does he suck now?

 

[These Are The Days]

That Weekes tag

Doubt it very much.

Russo - who is as plugged in with a team as any NHL beat writer - has been clear that the Wild want Fleury because Talbot is 35 and probably can't play more than 50 games.

Appreciate the info.

Depending on what Fleury makes, they might need to move Talbot for a cheaper option. I think it's pretty up in the air. I think odds are you're right, but I expect they explore options.

Good for MAF staying put... Kinda rough news for TO if they were hoping for him

 

[Canuck86]

toronto front office should be clenching their cheeks now lol

They have for a few years now no? At least when it comes to the playoffs, Leafs are a top tier regular season team for the past few years but hard to win with poor goaltending

 

[Budz]

I might be one of the few Leafs fans who did not want MAF.

Good luck in Minny.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Dreger says NO.


And then Weekes deleted his tweet. Wow, a bad look for Kev here...

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

hehe Weeks deleted the tweet after dregs

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Haha. Oops.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Dreger totally crapped on Weekes. Damn.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Oh Weekes, how embarrassing. Lost credibility.

 

[Craig Ludwig]

If I'm the Oilers, I'm going after Talbot. Talbot has been very good the last couple of years in Minnesota, if I'm in his shoes I am pissed they're bringing back Fleury, who is not better than Cam.

 

[seabass45]

Dreger says NO.


And then Weekes deleted his tweet. Wow, a bad look for Kev here...

Woah.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

Weekes an idiot

 

[tarheelhockey]

Damn, the reporting drama is more interesting than the contract drama.

 

[ottawa]

Damn, great start to the Weekes tag. We still love you
