There have been some rumors over the years regarding Fleury and the Montreal Canadiens, but did Marc-André really come close to playing for the Habs?

His agent addressed the question, live on TVA Sports, during an interview with journalist Renaud Lavoie.

Watch the exchange with Renaud Lavoie.

Question:

'Was there ever a time, at any point during Marc-André's career, when you thought he would play for the Montreal Canadiens?'

Agent's answer:

'Yes, there were a few moments where we believed it, there were a few moments where there were discussions about it, yes, but the 'timing' just never really worked out, and for a large part of Marc-André's career, the Canadiens obviously had Carey Price, an amazing goalie, a future Hall of Famer.

It just never really came together.'

We highly recommend the full interview:

It's really interesting, and well said by Allan Walsh.

I love that he wasn't afraid to speak out and confirm that there were discussions with the Canadiens.
