The Flower may be sprouting on the trade market.Marc-Andre Fleury, the legendary netminder, is stirring up some trade deadline drama. With his contract up for grabs, there's been chatter about him potentially joining a Stanley Cup contender before the March 8 deadline. Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin even hinted that if things went south for the Wild, they might entertain offers for Fleury.

Fleury's Commitment to the Wild:

Fleury opened up about the situation on Wednesday night during an interview with Montreal's TVA Sports. Turns out, he's not looking to pack his bags anytime soon. He's got his heart set on staying put in Minnesota. Here's What he had to say translated from French:

Minnesota is my team. We've got an amazing group of guys, and the chemistry is unbeatable. I've been here for over two seasons now, and I'm not itching to go anywhere else. My focus is on fighting alongside my team to make it to the postseason.

So, despite Guerin's willingness to entertain trade offers, Fleury and his agent possess the power. With a no-movement clause in his contract, he's not exactly itching to chase another ring in what could be his final season.

Fleury knows a thing or two about trade deadline drama. He shuffled around in 2022 from the Vegas Golden Knights to the Chicago Blackhawks and landed in Minnesota. And with the Wild still in the playoff hunt, there's a chance he'll stick around.

In the rumor mill, Fleury's been linked to teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers, New Jersey Devils, and Carolina Hurricanes. Some fans even dreamed of a reunion with the Pittsburgh Penguins. After all, he's a fan favorite and a true team player wherever he goes. Plus, with a resume that boasts three Stanley Cups and a Vezina Trophy, any team would be lucky to have the future Hall of Famer and 39-year-old him for a postseason push.

However, if Fleury's got his mind made up, it looks like he'll be holding down the fort in Minnesota for the foreseeable future. That's something fans in the state of hockey won't be going «Wild» about anytime soon.
