The Chicago Blackhawks made a big splash when they acquired Marc-Andre Fleury from the Vegas Golden Knights earlier in the offseason. It was one of many big moves that they made with hopes of improving their roster ahead of 2021-22. There was one catch, however. Fleury was rumored to be retiring if he wasn’t a Vegas Golden Knight goalie. Luckily for the Blackhawks, they received some great news in regards to that on Sunday morning.
It is now official that Fleury will play next season. He has one year left on his contract and should be good to go with it. He is 36 years old and will be 37 about a month into the season. He is certainly good enough to play in the NHL still so it is good to hear that he plans to keep playing.
