Eric Duhatschek at the time said words to the effect of "small and slow has never been a successful NHL combination". Sutter similarly said "Honor the past. Don't live in it." when Fleury was cut.
I really wanted it to happen, so those things stick out in my mind.
Now of course, I'm pleased it didn't. That loon didn't need any more money or success in life.

4 points in 4 preseason games.. yes I know preseason- that was with not playing for years but we missed the playoffs by 5 points that season with us dead last in scoring ( 6th best in GA- Kipper)
I always wonder if we gave him some time, if he could have been the difference there. He did look really good in preseason shootout...
Am I the only one that thinks this way? lol

“I get cut,” Fleury wrote. “What a joke! Craig Conroy goes the first 37 games of the season with zero goals. I wonder how many I would have had. Even with all the stupid people that run the game of hockey, it’s still a great game. Go figure.
