Good work by Francis actually as he gets to the bottom of the "Fleury didn't want to come to Calgary" assumption that was out there.
I do think he errs on this line though ...

Fact is, while many saw Fleury as a logical fit for the Flames in the off-season, the club was happy with a surging Brian Elliott at the trade deadline and weren’t embroiled in serious trade talks with the Penguins at the time.

Flames were in on the Bishop talks, and the Fleury talks, clearly Treliving wasn't thinking Elliott could get it done in a playoff run.
