A Fleury of Theo News
Theo Fleury continues to be the only news coming out of Calgary
these days.
Besides being among the league's top scorers, Fleury is also being
coveted by numerous teams via free agency or a trade. It's been no
secret that the free-agent-to-be is wanted by the Flyers, Sharks,
Devils and Sabres. Now add the Kings to the list.
Fleury recently admitted to turning down a four-year, $25 million
contract offer given to him by the Kings, who were willing to trade
for him if he accepted the contract.
Fleury is now saying he will turn down all contract offers for the
rest of the season so he can test the free-agent market in the
summer. This makes it nearly impossible for the Flames to trade
him now. Why would a team give up a prospect or player with no
guarantee of Fleury signing a long-term deal?
So now it looks like Fleury will stay in Calgary and help the Flames
make a run at the playoffs. That run is shaping up nicely. The
Flames are unbeaten in their last six games. Fleury has played a
major part, including a goal and an assist in a blowout 6-2 win over
Wayne Gretzky and the New York Rangers.
More Fleury
Lil' Theo made more news recently by becoming the Flames' all-time
leader in career points. Fleury passed Al MacInnis with two goals
and an assist against the Mighty Ducks, which gave him 824 points
in 787 games. MacInnis held the previous record with 822 points
(213 goals) during his 13-year career with Calgary. MacInnis still
holds the record for games played by a Flame, but Fleury is closing
in on that mark, too. Theo has played in 787 games. MacInnis's
record is 803.
