However, at age 37, I think things are changing for Flower, as he has been dealt carelessly by the Vegas Golden Knights to a tanking Chicago Blackhawks for absolutely nothing, a specious cap dump. After Kelly McCrimmon dumped Flower, he fired DeBoer today in a countless list of mistakes he's made as GM so far.
Then to end up on a team that ended up exiting the first round, in the Minnesota Wild, whom he states he'd like to return but that's not the full story.
I imagine Flower has a year left before he decided to retire, after 19 years in the league and already attaining what he has, it'd be a respectable decision.
Guerin could bring him back but, it'd complicate the Wild's cap structure too. with DeSmith and Jarry in net in Pittsburgh, I don't see a window for him to return either, with Hextall in control.
Fleury left the 2021-2022 playoffs with 5 games played, 3.04 GAA, 2 wins and 3 losses and a .906 SV%
