But after that shaky open, Fleury was often the reason Chicago was competitive at all, ending his 45-game stint in Chicago with a 19-21-5 record, .908 save percentage and 2.95 goals-against average. This report indicates that Fleury was aware of the potential for this deal, unlike his offseason trade from Vegas to Chicago: While Fleury had a bit of a slow start to the season, mirroring the abysmal first month of the Blackhawks’ 2021-22 season.

Even though salary was obviously the main factor in Fleury being dealt by the Vegas Golden Knights last summer, for Chicago to get Marc-Andre Fleury just for taking on his contract and then flip him for a key asset about eight months later is a win. As for what they gave up, a second-round pick for a big improvement in an important area is worth it. Then with there being the potential that it could become a late first-round pick, as well as the fact that the Blackhawks got Fleury basically for free last summer, they got a decent return here. Adding Fleury also gave Minnesota the opportunity to move Kahkonen for defensive help, sending him to the San Jose Sharks for Jacob Middleton. There was also his $7 million cap hit – even though the Blackhawks were able to retain 50 per cent of his salary, not every team would be able to acquire Fleury without making other moves to clear space. Hanging onto Fleury obviously wouldn’t have made sense for Chicago, given that he’ll be an unrestricted free agent this summer and the Blackhawks aren’t getting near the playoffs anyways.

The deal was fully guaranteed with an annual average salary of $7 million. In exchange for Fleury, the Blackhawks get a conditional second-round pick this season. Marc-Andre Fleury is not staying with the Blackhawks, as Chicago sent the veteran goaltender to the Wild for a conditional second-round pick in 2022.

Minnesota is allowing an average of 3.20 goals per game, a mark that ranks 22nd in the league. For the Blackhawks, they got a high draft pick for a player that was probably not re-signing this offseason.

Fleury has a career record of 511-297 in 928 games played along with a 2.57 goals against average (GAA) and .913 save percentage. This season, Fleury played 45 games, winning 19 with a 2.95 GAA and .908 save percentage for Chicago, which has the third-worst record in the Western Conference. The Wild also traded away goalie Kaapo Kahkonen.

The three-time Stanley Cup winner and former No. 1 overall pick was in his first season with the Blackhawks after playing for Pittsburgh and Vegas.

"It is already a great team," Fleury said. Not only did Fleury finish third in wins, goals-against average and shutouts a year ago, but he was also crowned the league's best netminder. The team also dealt Victor Rask after he was demoted to the minors last month; he ended up with Seattle for future considerations, and the Wild retained half his contract. "I had no idea," Kahkonen told reporters after he was pulled off the ice Monday morning. "I know what's coming," Guerin said. "There's not much that beats winning," Fleury said. "You're always chasing that feeling and that achievement. Still, Guerin went back and forth the last few days on whether the deal would get finalized. "He's like watching Kirill [Kaprizov] except a goalie." "This is a credit to them. "I'm excited about that." Add in the recent arrivals of fourth-line center Tyson Jost and physical agitator Nicolas Deslauriers, and the Wild was aggressive in a roster makeover that gears up for a rugged race to the postseason.

Marc-Andre Fleury is on the move, and he's being traded to the Minnesota Wild, a source confirms to NBC Sports Chicago.

"We are in a better position today at the upcoming Draft than we were yesterday. The Blackhawks wish him and his family the best in Minnesota." From a human perspective, Fleury's presence is going to be sorely missed. If Minnesota reaches the Western Conference Final and Fleury accounts for four wins or more in the first two rounds, the draft pick will be a first-rounder. That's a solid first step in Davidson's big-picture rebuild plan. Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson was prepared to honor that agreement one way or another and ultimately accommodated Fleury's request to be moved to a contender of his choice ahead of Monday's 2 p.m. deadline.

The Minnesota Wild addressed their inconsistent goaltending situation by acquiring Marc-Andre Fleury in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday.

"The division is very difficult. "But I think that level of competition is great because it you know who you're going up against every single night. "Sometimes getting the edge is doing nothing and sometimes the edge is going out and getting players. Looks like everybody in the Atlantic decided it was time to go get guys. I think this is the parity of the league. "Just stick with our plan and roll," Dubas added of his approach.

The Chicago Blackhawks are trading goaltender Marc-André Fleury to the Minnesota Wild for a conditional second-round pick that can become a first.

The Bruins dominated every facet of the game, but Fleury made 46 saves — several of them spectacular — to get the game to overtime and steal a point. Fleury controlled his own fate at the deadline. Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen has also been traded to the San Jose Sharks along with a fifth-round pick in exchange for defenseman Jacob Middleton.

He is the favorite to start in the playoffs, but it's nice for the Wild to have the option of two qualified vets if needed. You will see a lot of him down the stretch and he could displace Kevin Lankinen. Lankinen has been terrible after his first dozen games or so last year. James Reimer and Adin Hill are each signed for next year for around $2.2M each (give or take) and Kahkonen is an RFA. If Kahkonen signs for more than them – and he might, though his stats are only better than Hill's and not Reimer's – then he'll be the favorite to be San Jose's starter. But the big news here is Marc-Andre Fleury. Playoff experience and Cup rings and then some. The Wild then traded Kaapo Kahkonen to San Jose along with a fifth-round draft pick for Jacob Middleton. If Middleton plays 21 of Minnesota's remaining 22 games he will be an RFA in the summer.
