I love Flower.

The last of his era of goalies. Glad he’s back for one more year.

It's crazy he's still playing at 40, but I love to see it.

I thought he was a great addition to VGK at the expansion draft. Now he's definitely showing his age, but love the personality.

^Quick should come back next year too, and give Fleury a run for his money.

Will a goalie ever be drafted #1 overall again? It doesn't seem likely.

Well, there's only been 3 and two didn't work out very well.

You can never say never but it would have to be a tall kid that is totally dominant and projects to be generational as a career elite goaltender can set up an organization for long term success. Even at that it would depend on several factors such as quality of talent in that draft year, organizational needs of the team picking 1st (maybe they already have a franchise goaltender in the organization), etc.

He's already signed with the Rangers for next year. I think it was in February for around half of what Fleury makes.

Thanks, I missed it. I was kind of hoping he would come here as a tandem with Wolf.
