If Pit can't work out a good trade, and assuming that Fleury waives, I wouldn't be surprised if Fleury ends up in Vegas. Pit trades a prospect or 2nd rounder (or both) to LV so that they select Fleury in the expansion draft. Vegas isn't getting Murray regardless but this way they get a good #1 goalie plus the picks and/or prospects. Pit gets cap relief and cash savings by not having to buy out Fleury and they can control who they lose to expansion. Fleury makes his full salary and gets his starter job back in a great city. Win win win.
