As the Vegas Golden Knights are trying to find some help at center, it's their goaltending depth they are trying to pull from. A lot of people in the industry felt it was Marc-Andre Fleury who was going to get dealt as he's more expensive, signed for less term, and is several years older.

While there's been reports Fleury could end up in Chicago, seeing Lehner being talked about has certainly sent a small shock wave through the fan base. Lehner may fetch more on the open market, even though Fleury is the Vezina trophy winner. Interesting times in Vegas as one of the goalies is getting traded, we just don't know who at this point. Sounds like nobody does...
