Marc Andre Fleury:
Marc-André Fleury (born November 28, 1984) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender for the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL). Drafted out of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) first overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, Fleury played major junior for four seasons with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles, earning both the Mike Bossy Trophy as the league’s top prospect and the Telus Cup as the top defensive player in 2003.

Baby:
- The Hurricanes have announced their taxi squad (mostly). Morgan Geekie, Steven Lorentz, and Max McCormick are the forwards with Jake Bean and Joakim Ryan on defense. The team will either use Alex Nedeljkovic or the recently re-aquired Anton Forsberg as their third goalie depending on if Nedeljkovic clears waivers today. [Hurricanes]
- The Captain Jordan Staal joins Canes Cast this week and the Hurricanes prepare to start the season. [Hurricanes]
Scouting Report:
Haydn Fleury is an imposing defenseman with excellent puck-moving skills. He is probably the second-most talented defenseman in this draft behind Aaron Ekblad. Fleury has improved quite a bit from 2012-13 to this year, and he appears to have the kind of offensive skills that will make him an impact player at the next level. Fleury scored eight goals and 38 assists with the Rebels last season, and he also had a plus-15 rating.
