Minnesota: how much do you want for Fleury?

Chicago:

Reigning Vezina winner traded for nothing after his winning season, gets worse and then gets traded for a 2nd (possibly 1st) at the deadline. Vegas mishandled this so badly lmao

Minnesota has a chance to cement Fleury's HOF case here, hopefully he can make a run and get Minny to the finals

Dang.


Everyone thought more. Also

Could’ve gone to the caps but noooooo

Nice trade for the wild

W Wild. Hope Fleury fits well there and goes far in PO.

first reigning vezina winner to be traded on TDL day

interesting

good trade for MIN

Friendly reminder that Chicago got Fleury for basically nothing 6 months ago. W for both teams.

Respect to Guerin giving his team a chance to compete and not just show up in the playoffs.

Could be good for Minny if he works out, not having a great year this year analytically but could fix their goalie issues with a bounce back.
Definitely a good deal for the Hawks, they get a guaranteed top 2 round pick for a rental that they got for peanuts. No lose situation for them here.

Wild win the trade, but Blackhawks don't come out too shabby getting a second round pick for free thanks to Vegas and getting a Second is still goof for it being well known Flower would only go to Minnesota.

So long and Godspeed Flower!

Chicago managed to turn Markus Hakkarainen into either a second or a late first.

That's a massive win for Chicago and amounts to an overpayment by Minnesota.

And it represents what might have been a missed opportunity for Vegas.


Congrats to the Hawks front office.

Can we add a "who lost the trade"? then add Vegas to the poll, deary me...

i am thoroughly disappointed that kevin weekes did not break this trade from the surface of mars

Vegas should've swallowed pride and brought him back.

Chicago fans here were demanding much, much more.

Fair deal, a starter for a 2nd, possibly 1st

I thought it'd take more to be honest.

If it becomes a 1st round pick, then that means Minnesota did well enough that they won this trade. The only way Chicago wins this trade is if Minnesota flames out in the first round and Fleury retires / signs with a different team.

That said, they got more than they paid, so that's a win in that regard.

It's weird to me that there is retention on Fleury... We have a ton of cap space, does Guerin plan on making more moves?

After acquiring Fleury ($7M - 50% retained), #MNWild have $1.3M of Projected Cap Space, which can fit $6.5M Annual Cap Hit today.https://t.co/XPDvAqizUg https://t.co/AnGwwMj4Yk pic.twitter.com/sgyGQR8pCX

If they miss the playoffs this year, then someone should get fired.

While this is true, it’s not the whole truth. Vegas had to move cap space and everyone knew that. They weren’t going to help them out. Cap space rules all decisions.

Instead, look at this as “a 5th for Fleury” and moving up 3 rounds to take 50% of his cap hit.

good move for chicago. they got him for free months ago.

Still doesn't mean they couldn't have either found an actual return for the reigning Vezina winner or just keep him and not trade for Dadonov.
