The Wild wants to make room for Marc-André Fleury in the organization

The Québécois still has some to give, and that’s why he accepted the Canadiens’ invitation to the CDM.

But he also has more to give off the ice… and the Wild seem to want to count on his services in the future.

Because today, Bill Guerin said he wanted to make room for Fleury within the organization.

The Wild president (and GM) isn’t sure yet what role he wants to give him, but he wants to keep him close to the team.

That wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Marc-André Fleury has what it takes, after all, to help a National League club even if he’s no longer playing.

He’s got the experience, he’s got the trophies and he’s got the right attitude to do it.

The question now is what Bill Guerin’s plan is.

Does he want to have Fleury with him in the front office? With his knowledge of current NHL players, it might make sense.

If not, does he want Fleury in a role focused on developing the youngest players, a bit like Francis Bouillon in Montreal?

That too might make sense, given the Québécois’ personality.

We’ll keep you posted. But if Bill Guerin’s words are anything to go by, we can really expect to see Marc-André Fleury obtain a position within the Wild organization after he hangs up his skates.

Overtime

– Will they be able to play?

– Of note:

– Good deal.

– Sad news.
