Remember last year when I said not to draft Fleury? Yeah, I was dead wrong on that one. Despite suffering a concussion in early October of 2017, Fleury sizzled when he returned in December and never looked back.

In 46 games played, Fleury put together a solid 29-13-4 record with a 2.24 GAA, a .927 SV% and four shutouts. When Fleury was in the cage for Vegas, he always gave the team a chance to win even when they didn’t deserve it. The future hall of fame goaltender is a must own in every fantasy league.

Now that we know who the Golden Knights are as a team, draft Marc-Andre Fleury. My only concern with the Flower is a potential injury. Concussions have been a bit of a challenge for Fleury in the past, and it has held back regarding performance. But, when he’s healthy, and he’s on, Fleury is one of the best goaltenders in the NHL.
