Doesn't Pittsburgh need to either trade Fleury and get a goalie they can expose in return or get him to waive his NMC? I don't see how buying him out gains them anything.
Murray and Fleury are their only goalies that qualify for exposure and unless I'm misreading the expansion draft rules they have to expose at least one goalie.

That's actually a really good question. Taking a look online, they don't have another goalie eligible to be made available than Murray.
So one would think the only way they can do it is to make a trade with Vegas that ensures they take Fleury... or lose Murray. Those appear to be their only two options that I can see.
