Vegas Golden Knights – Marc-Andre Fleury

Look, we might as well get used to it. Marc-Andre Fleury is going to be in the Hockey Hall of Fame one day. He probably won’t have to wait long, either. Fleury’s resume is simply too impressive. He has won three Stanley Cups and nearly led the Vegas Golden Knights to a title in their first-ever season.

Fleury has also been impressive on the international stage. He led Canada to consecutive silver medals at the World Juniors in 2003 and 2004. Furthermore, Fleury was named the MVP and best goaltender of the 2003 World Juniors. Additionally, he was a member of the 2010 Olympic gold-winning Team Canada squad.

Honorable mentions: William P. Foley and George McPhee both have compelling cases as builders. But I think only one will get in. I think the latter has the upper hand because of his significant time as a general manager. He built a Stanley Cup contender with the Washington Capitals and did a perfect job at the expansion draft, putting together a team that nearly won the Stanley Cup in its first season.

That said, Foley certainly has a case as well. He’s the owner of the Golden Knights and has helped put together a very impressive team, especially if you consider the franchise only a few years old.
