Despite his size, he's more of a finesse guy than a big bruising defenseman. He does play the body, but his skating is more of his bread and butter. Talking with him and some of the other guys in Red Deer, I'm not sure his has that 'killer' in him that Dion had.

Fleury is a big, physical blueliner who shows good offensive ability. He's strong and balanced on his skates, keep his head up and understands developing plays. He rubs opposing forwards out and isn't shy to make a solid hit. (August 2013)
