NHL Rumors: Blackhawks And Wild Talking Blockbuster

According to Elliotte Friedman, the Chicago Blackhawks and Minnesota Wild are engaging in trade talks that are centering around Marc-Andre Fleury.

Not sure where this will go, but hearing CHI & MIN have had conversations about Marc-Andre Fleury. Something to keep an eye on.

Fleury is the biggest goalie currently in the rumor mill, so multiple teams have been linked to the veteran. Yet, it hadn't been confirmed that the Wild were among them until now.

The Wild have lingering questions coming from their current goalie tandem, so it makes sense that they are looking at a player like Fleury. He would provide them with far more stability in goal, as he of course is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner and comes with a high amount of experience, too. In 44 games this season, he has a 19-20-5 record, 2.90 GAA, and .909 SV%.

This is an intriguing storyline, and it will have to be followed very closely as we get closer to Monday's trade deadline.
