Tom Callahan of Vegas Hockey NOW: Could Marc-Andre Fleury be bought out by the Vegas Golden Knights? Is this feasible? Fleury knew he had a shorter shelf life in Vegas but it has been a good three seasons. There was the magical Stanley Cup Final run. Now, reality bites. Fleury is on the other side of his 30’s and Robin Lehner has been pegged the starter. There lies an impending five year extension for Lehner.
Backups do not get paid $7 million AAV. Both Fleury and the team are saying all the right things.
