If it were up to the Quebec goalie, he'd be playing at least one more season in the National Hockey League.

Fleury revealed his game in April when asked about his future. It was clear he had some left in the tank.

Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin confirmed his interest in bringing Fleury, his former teammate, back to the team in 2022-23.

Guerin is reportedly banking on the return of his late 2021-22 duo, complete with Cam Talbot.

As a sign of confidence, Guerin traded young Kaapo Kahkonen to the Sharks this season to make room for Fleury.

It must be said that the Wild has shown an excellent record with the Sorelois in its ranks: 9 wins and only 2 losses in the season!

Talbot has been guarding the majority of the team's games this season, but at 34, he'll agree to split the job with Fleury, 37.

The goaltender has had some rough patches at times that make him look shaky, but he always gets back on his feet.

Early in the 2022 playoffs, Fleury allowed 4 goals in a 4-0 loss. Some thought they would pick Talbot for the next game.

Yet the Quebec goaltender was back in front of his net, en route to a 6-2 victory in Game #2.

It's true that Marc-Andre Fleury is no longer a spring flower, and it's true that he has slowed down a bit.

Still, his 522 career wins make him the third winningest goalie in NHL history. That's something you can't buy!
