That’s setting whoever it is up for failure.

Now, if a special player with the game to back it up comes to Conroy and says “I want 14” - different story. Maybe find a way to cleanse the number without removing it from circulation.
You know what? Perfect. Just. Perfect.

Retire #14.

Raise the banner to the rafters.

But don't put Fleury's name on it. Have it read: "No One."

14 is retired, a big F-you to Fleury. Everybody's happy. Except probably Fleury.

The thing is, I can, to a point, separate the person from the player. To a point. I remember amazing times when Fleury was pretty much the only player worth watching. But after a while that shine fades and you've just got to move along.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
