The Minnesota Wild made waves in the NHL on Monday by trading for a premiere goaltender.
Marc-André Fleury was sent to the Wild from Chicago in exchange for a conditional 1st-round draft pick.
Fleury won Stanley Cup championships with Pittsburgh in 2009, 2016, and 2017. He had four standout years in Las Vegas before arriving in Chicago this season.
Immediately following the Fleury trade, the Wild announced goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen to San Jose.
