As everybody understands, goaltending is a topic that constantly creates a good deal of speculation in the National Hockey League.
It’s a position that’s constantly in need, which describes why there are many rumours surrounding the different NHL goaltenders.
Groups are constantly on the lookout for a goaltender as the playoffs method, since they do not have total self-confidence in the goaltenders they have on hand, and since they wish to protect their playoff area, along with make a run at it.
Naturally, the Montreal Canadiens get a great deal of play in goaltending rumours, as the Habs have 3 goalies in the NHL at the minute and are attempting to eliminate among them.
The most current rumour connected Jake Allen to the Los Angeles Kings.
Now, if we look outdoors Montreal, there are lots of other goalies who are offered or might appear quickly.
Among these, according to Elliotte Friedman, is Marc-André Fleury
According to the popular tipster, the Minnesota Wild goaltender might be of interest to groups need to the Wild be entirely removed from the playoffs.
Friedman called 2 groups: the Colorado Avalanche and the Carolina Hurricanes.
Cont ‘d: “The other group that shrieks Fleury to me is Carolina, that’s the other group I take a look at and state, if Marc-André Fleury wishes to go someplace, they will ask him, does our circumstance interest you?”

For Friedman, the link is apparent, and he asserts that if Fleury is open to the concept of altering address, these 2 groups will be on the case.
Let’s not forget that this might be the Quebec goaltender’s last NHL season.
The Avalanche and Hurricanes are 2 groups presently in an extremely strong playoff position, so they would not state no to a specific insurance plan and a specific support in front of the web.
On the Avalanche side, Alexandar Georgiev is the group’s undeniable starter, and he’s doing extremely well, however those statistics are much better than they need to be, considered that the Avalanche have rather a hockey club.
An insurance coverage policy like Fleury would be extremely welcome in case Georgiev begins to lose his great rhythm, specifically in the playoffs.
It would likewise put pressure on Georgiev, something he does not have today, when he’s the undeniable starter.
On the Hurricanes’ side, goaltending is a mess, with their number-one goaltender, Frederik Andersen, on the hurt list for rather a long time now, and young Pyotr Kochetkov simply contributed to the list.
That leaves Antti Raanta as the only NHL-tagged goaltender, and he’s not having an extraordinary season.
Including a goalie like Marc-André Fleury would provide the Hurricanes some security for the playoffs.
The Hurricanes require an NHL goaltender, as evidenced by the emergency situation recall of Quebecer Yaniv Perets and the waivers claim of Spencer Martin.
In other words, must the Wild be extremely far from the playoffs on March 8 at the trade due date, well, Fleury will plainly be a name to view, as a number of competing groups will have an interest in his services, if Fleury consents to alter address naturally.
Friedman just discussed the Avalanche and Hurricanes, however other groups are plainly en route.
