The Vegas Golden Knights have traded face of the franchise and reigning Vezina Trophy winner, Marc-Andre Fleury, to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for prospect Mikael Hakkarainen in an effort to open up cap space.
According to The Athletic, the veteran netminder was "totally shocked" by the move and received no heads up from the organization, instead finding out via Twitter.
Marc-Andre Fleury's agent, Allan Walsh, confirmed to me that his client found out about his trade on Twitter. It's inconceivable to me that a Golden Knights braintrust that includes Bill Foley and George McPhee would allow for something like that to happen.
