The Marc-Andre Fleury era in Chicago was short-lived and shortsighted.
It probably shouldn't have even happened, but for some reason, former general manager Stan Bowman decided to go for it this season. The Vegas Golden Knights, in need of salary cap space, dealt the 2021 Vezina Trophy winner to Chicago over the summer.
Chicago then traded Fleury on Monday morning—the biggest deal of the trade deadline—to the Minnesota Wild for a conditional second-round pick in the 2022 draft that will become a first-round pick if the Wild reach the Western Conference Finals and Fleury wins at least four games in the first two rounds.
