NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

Also, I'm lukewarm on the trade. It's all about the 1st rounder, I guess, unless Heineman turns out better than expected. Toffoli had some decent value since he's signed for 2 more years at a great contract. When all's said and done, Calgary's 1st rounder may be the best they could get now though. Out of the potential trade partners, they may end being one with the worst final seeding. Maybe.

The Vegas Golden Knights have expressed interest in bringing Marc-Andre Fleury back into the fold, sources told Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli.

The potential reunion stems from an injury to Vegas' current starting goaltender, Robin Lehner. The team stated that Lehner is dealing with an upper-body injury, but sources told Seravalli that it's a torn labrum in his shoulder and it will eventually require surgery. It's unclear if Lehner can finish the season.

Fleury, the former face of the Golden Knights franchise, spent four seasons in Vegas before he was traded to the Blackhawks this past offseason as a cap dump.


The 37-year-old veteran is in the final year of his contract with a cap hit of $7 million. The Golden Knights are up against the cap, but they could potentially afford Fleury if Lehner's $5-million cap hit is placed on long-term injured reserve.

Fleury was reportedly shocked and disappointed by the trade and was initially not interested in playing for Chicago because he didn't want to move his family to an unfamiliar city. He also apparently found out about the trade on Twitter. He eventually decided to join the Blackhawks after taking time to mull his future.

The reigning Vezina Trophy winner has posted a stellar .910 save percentage in 36 games this season for a Blackhawks team that sits 14th in the Western Conference standings.
