On Saturday morning, Vegas Golden Knights head coach Peter DeBoer met with the media and made it plain that next season will be a very different year for his team. DeBoer particularly mentioned that they had a great goalie duo this season, but Marc-Andre Fleury appears to be on his way out. Vegas needs to transfer salary out of the building, and Fleury is their best option for doing so.
Fleury holds no-trade protection and will submit a list of 10-teams he's not interested in playing for. The Golden Knights need centers like crazy and will certainly target some talent for down the middle of their lineup. He's signed for one more season at $ 7 million.
Teams expected to have serious interest in Fleury include the Edmonton Oilers, Chicago Blackhawks, Washington Capitals, Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes.
