The Chicago Blackhawks have traded for Marc-Andre Fleury of the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday morning. This is big news for the franchise as they move forward, and try and compete for a playoff spot.
Marc-Andre Fleury is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner, and he is now on the Blackhawks, but it is not a done deal yet.
There is a real chance that Fleury retires after being traded as he did not want to play for any team except for Vegas. If he does choose to hang up his skates, it will not cost the team much as reportedly by CapFriendly in the following tweet:
If Marc-André Fleury decides to retire instead of playing this season in Chicago, his $7M cap hit will be completely removed.
