Heres how I see it.

Its all about the accumulation and disposition of Goodwill.

If you consider Goodwill an asset, Fleury accumulated a significant amount of it through his loyalty and excellent performance for the Calgary Flames Franchise.

However, he also spent a hefty amount of that accumulated Goodwill on relying on people to either keep him out of trouble or get him out of trouble if that failed.

The Organization, and I dont know if its fair to blame or credit the owners, but they're the ones who have been around the longest, but the Organization have attempted to do nothing but help Fleury at every turn and it doesnt appear as though that effort has been appreciated.

If anything he kind of seems to throw it back in their faces rather contemptuously.

So, while hes been burning through the organization's goodwill he hasnt been accruing any and it simply seems that at the moment there just isnt enough left.

I get the impression that at some point his jersey will be retired, but at the moment hes his own worst enemy, he probably just needs to back off a bit.
