Fleury: I want to finish my career as a Knight

Marc-Andre Fleury transformed from expansion castoff to Conn Smythe contender in a matter of months on the heels of one of the most miraculous single seasons in North American sports history.

And despite his Vegas Golden Knights falling just short of the Stanley Cup, Flower still very much wants to continue his days on the strip: "It’s funny, because a year ago, I was thinking I was getting too old to play this game," Fleury said Friday, according to Jesse Granger of the Las Vegas Sun.

"Vegas gave me an opportunity to continue doing what I love and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. I hope I finish my career here."

Aside from being an absolute beast in the blue paint all year long and into the playoffs, Fleury has been the face of the franchise in its inaugural campaign, adorning himself to fans and the community with numerous off-ice initiatives. It comes as little surprise the 33-year-old veteran has eyes for ending his career in Sin City.

Fleury becomes a free agent July 2019, but you can expect the Knights to make a push to lock down their No.1 man much sooner than that.
