"I get along great with Cam. He’s a good goalie and a good person," said Fleury. "Sometimes it’s a little easier on the body too, I’m getting older so those rests in the season helps stay healthy and stay fresh when you’re playing." Talbot's agent appeared to be unhappy at the NHL Draft following the announcement of Fleury's two-year extension. 

The deal has average annual value of $3.5 million and reportedly includes a no-movement clause. Fleury had a 9-2-0 record with a 2.74 goals-against average and .910 save percentage in 11 games with the Wild after he was acquired from Chicago. He also played in five of Minnesota's six playoff games. 

If Minnesota manages to sign Fleury then it will be on a two-year contract, according to Bob McKenzie. He is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent on July 13. Fleury finished the 2021-22 campaign with the Wild after he was acquired from Chicago. 

There will be plenty of teams looking to sign Fleury if he hits the open market and it appears to be headed in that direction. However, it seems as though the door hasn't been closed on a return to the Wild. There will be plenty of competition for his services once July 13 comes. The 37-year-old netminder wants to keep playing.
