Fleury wasn’t considered a playoff failure in recent years. During Bylsma’s tenure, yes. (I still hate that guy.) He was considered a Conn Smyth candidate last year before Sullivan changed goalies permanently. Anyway his departure wasn’t because the Pens didn’t want him but because he (rightly so) wanted to be a number one goalie. Trades were explored then he decided the Vegas team was OK to go to. It was his call.
What a Bozo (Dale Tallon) for a GM. I couldn’t believe they didn’t keep those forwards. You’ve got to feel for Florida fans.
Dale Tallon once lived down the street from me.
His wife was very nice.
