Nobody would really trust Fleury to be a franchise goalie at this point. The conspiracy theorist in me would suggest that maybe Vegas is attempting to string the Pens along in a trade negotiation that "falls apart" near the end leaving the Pens to expose Murray for them.
Of course the rumour out of Pittsburgh is that they won't lose Murray no matter what and will just buy out Fleury if they have to. But I wouldn't be surprised if Vegas is "attacking" the Pens in some way over their goalie situation, hoping for some sort of favourable outcome for them.
Even if only a really great deal to take Fleury off their hands.
