There are three things we currently know regarding Quebec-born goaltender Marc-André Fleury and the Edmonton Oilers.
First, Fleury is technically retired at the moment.
Second, Fleury is a huge hockey lover, who is surely asking himself some big questions these days.
And third, Fleury's agent has dropped a few hints on social media over the past few days about the possibility of seeing the Quebec goalie return for one final NHL season.
Knowing all of this-and knowing that the Edmonton Oilers STILL need a goaltender-well, an intriguing rumor has just surfaced.
Marc-André Fleury with Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers?
Let's remember this is just a rumor, but let's just say it's very interesting!
Marc-André Fleury has been linked to the Oilers. He could, in fact, be a very intriguing solution for Edmonton!
"On that note, Allan Mitchell (The Athletic) notably suggested that the Oilers look in the direction of Marc-André Fleury to find a backup for Stuart Skinner for next season.
We know he's retired and that other teams have already tried to bring him back to the NHL."

All the details are in The Athletic's article, but let's just say it's starting to make some real noise.
So this is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, and it's certain that Fleury must be tempted to return to the ice-but we still don't know how seriously he's considering the idea.
One thing's for sure, he would be a huge reinforcement for the Edmonton Oilers in net-and they desperately need it right now.
