The only reason we would get one before the expansion draft is if a team needs to deal one (for example PIT). But with all the talk that Fleury will go to VGK that may not be likely.
I wonder about the possibility of Fleury agreeing to go to VGK in order for VGK to then trade him to a team closer to contending. I mean wouldn't Fleury rather go to CGY than VGK if he wants to win?
Can't wait to see what happens that week, should be crazy.

The problem with the Flames doing a deal with Pittsburgh is they don't have an additional goalie who meets the exposure requirements (under contract for next season) that they could move to Pittsburgh so that complicates the deal.
They have Tom McCollum but if they moved him to Pittsburgh, they'd need to find a goalie to expose of their own.
