Fleury just isn't that good.
The Rebels play the typical Brent structure which allows Fleury to look better in his insulated environment defensively. He makes safe plays but nothing in his puck moving or vision is spectacular. Offensively he has an alright wrister but he's the kind that will pick up a lot of second assists just because he touched the puck earlier on in a play. He's not actually driving offense most of the time.
If it weren't such a weak draft year, the guy might not even be a 1st round pick. He's not even as good as Madison Bowey was last year, and he went in the 50s.
None of his skills are elite. Does a lot of things alright, but alright doesn't cut it for a top-10 or in your case a top-5 pick.
He'll never be an elite player. Oh and to say Morgan Reilly's offensive upside is only a bit higher than Fleury's is asinine. Fleury is not even in the same stratosphere as Morgan Reilly.
