Confirmed Trade: [CHI/VGK] Marc-Andre Fleury to Chicago for Mikael Hakkarainen

[Taylorst]

They already saying Fluery has said he is not going to chicago

That's not the full story . Flury has nothing against chicago, what he is contemplating is up and moving his family.

Don't believe the Twitter tolls , there all about clicks and posting baseless claims.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Because they exist and shouldn't get away with it, it just makes them grow more and more

If you don't acknowledge them, they don't exist.

Were did I state it was because of Chicago? All I saod is he isn't going which could be many reasons as to why

 

[JAK]

What are the odds that his HHOF speech won't include Vegas owner and current management team?

 

[Kaner9]

Dang what is it with MAF and VGK they shoulda been a good marriage. I do hope MAF doesn't retire he brings the drama lately and I like the spice.

Yes. Exactly what Chicago needs right now: more drama.

Gloveside, blockerside, blindside! Heyoo hiyoo Flower got picked up by Chicago in a very value move, Vegas folding a good hand with money left on the table. You hate to see it but I’ll repeat it- the house lost folks, the house lost.

Really though, the f*** Vegas? I guess I’d trade Lehner if either of them, guess this makes more sense in terms of contract though.

 

[bigbabybuda]

This will hurt Vegas long term. Utter disrespect for the man who has been your franchises everything for your entire existence. I can't believe they didn't even speak to him first. Absolutely the most disrespectful thing I can ever remember a G.M doing to a player. I'd never sign their if I was a UFA

 

[Tyrus]

Why are you talking about Price in this thread?

Funny jokes aside, Price is basically the exact opposite, which is why all those "Price to Seattle" talks were so mindboggling.

If your team is only hoping to make the playoffs and needs significant contribution from your goalie to do so, Price would probably be one of the worse choice for a starter. My man phones it the f*** in during the regular season and eats up cap like our drafting team eats up busts.

 

[CupsOverCash]

My question is why even bother with the trade if you don't know how he will react to going there at this point in his career. Can't just assume he will want to play there.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Notice he doesn't thank the organization.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

At his age and at this point in his career he doesn't care about endorsements

He was doing them in Vegas, and my guess is he'll keep doing them as long as the checks clear.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

MAF does not want to play for the Blackhawks, period. Can we look at this from the human interest perspective instead of simply the economic perspective?

It's a business, and he's well-compensated.

 

[skiba77777]

I don't see Chicago making the playoffs, but keep adding Bowman you're totally a contender

With Toews and Dach coming back, they're adding a ton to last year's team. They have a good shot at the playoffs, but they aren't winning a Cup.

 

[Night Shift]

No you were implying that market size mattered for endorsement but I'm saying at his age he doesn't care. Are you a new fan?

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Because they exist and shouldn't get away with it, it just makes them grow more and more

The moment you respond to or acknowledge an internet troll in any way, you give them power. The only bad publicity for trolls is no publicity at all.

 

[robsenz]

Honestly, how was this even approved by the league?

 

[featherhawk]

Honestly, how was this even approved by the league?

because its a valid trade. MAF has a present 10 team not trade clause and Chicago was not on that list...

 

[VivaLasVegas]

No you were implying that market size mattered for endorsement but I'm saying at his age he doesn't care. Are you a new fan?

So you're a mind-reader, eh? Must be cool to know with total certainty what is going through other folks' minds.

 

[trellaine201]

Hope he says FU Vegas. Vegas are a bit slimey.

I know people like to tell themselves that but the last few years really should have told you this doesn't work like that.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Please do tell me what good it does to respond to social media trolls, I can't wait to hear it.

 

[DearDiary]

Is it true that they didn’t even call Flower to tell him he was moving?

Yes. Imagine finding out on social media that you've been kicked from your team.

It wouldn't be a big deal if it happened to a guy like Marchand or Perry. But Fluery???

 

[Go4soda]

Didn’t even know deals like this were allowed

How can a team just give a salary to another team for free?? How did this pass through the head office?

Hey newbie fan. Fleury has been playing in the NHL since 2003. He's already made his money. There is Nothing to mind read.
