Confirmed Trade: [MIN/CHI] Marc-Andre Fleury for 2022 conditional 1st round pick

[Empoleon8771]

Honestly that seems lighter than what I expected him to bring back.

 

[Accelleratii]

Love it. Good conditions.

 

[SomeDude]

If I was Talbot, I would be pissed. Dude has played very well for the WIld the past 2 years and they push him to now being a backup and not give him another shot in the playoffs?

Maybe his agent can make a tweet about it.

 

[29Potvin]

WTF Dubas. 2nd round pick.

He didnt want to come here!

Playing very well is extremely generous, his advanced stats are horrendous.

Is it Possible they are adding Fleury to decrease Talbots load for the playoffs?

Like a 1a/2a situation. Where Fleury is the back up going into playoffs?

 

[Glorydays22]

Great deal for Wild....Not sure what Chicago is thinking??? You have to get a 1st rounder for him.

 

[CDN24]

WTF Dubas. 2nd round pick.

Dubas traded those away yesterday. earliest Leaf 2nd is 2024, wild have 2 this year

 

[AvroArrow]

Dubas should have been all over this. Great price, 2nd and becomes a 1st if they make the WCF, I believe Minny is set to faceoff against Colorado ? But overall great value.

 

[Sol]

As much as I can’t stand Fleurys teeth, we could have gotten him for a second ? Wow. Come on Blake.

 

[Glorydays22]

TSN is saying it's a 1st not a 2nd

 

[Esq]

Good deal for both sides. Just don't expect MAF to be a savior. He's good for at least one really bad goal per game.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Minnesota did very well here

If I'm Edmonton, I'm calling Guerin right now to see if there is a deal for Talbot. Talbot-Koskinen is a far better option going into the playoffs than Koskinen-Smith.

 

[The Marquis]

Talbot to Edmonton? hahahaha

 

[Extra Texture]

So he waved after all! Something about MAF in Minnesota just fits. He seems like a Minnesota kind of guy. Really friendly and well liked outwardly, but dont get him riled up!

And from the Wild perspective, going for it this year makes a whole lot of sense, before the dead cap on their buyouts kicks them in the butt

 

[Rob Brown]

Talbot to Edmonton? hahahaha

They're trading Kahkonen so no, Talbot will stay.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

The pick will be no higher than 29 OA.

 

[Esq]

Great deal for Wild....Not sure what Chicago is thinking??? You have to get a 1st rounder for him.

If we demanded a 1st, there was probably no deal to be had.

TSN is saying it's a 1st which makes sense

If I was Kahkonen I'd be more pissed; he's probably going to be regulated to the bench/AHL.

Talbot has been shaky at best since the All-Star break, this gives Minnesota a lot of flexibility. Also the 2nd to 1st is a pretty good condition.

I don't see Talbot wanting to go back to Edmonton, he was literally ran out of town by the fans in his last year there.

 

[Esq]

TSN is saying it's a 1st which makes sense

I think its a 1st only if the conditions are met?

He'll be the starter soon enough going by history

 

[centipede2233]

Talbot is the new fleury
