Pens would like to hold on to Fleury
Dave Molinari: I’m not aware of any rule that would prevent the Penguins from trading Fleury between the end of their playoff run and the expansion draft, but they would have very little negotiating leverage if they put off doing something with Fleury until then. They definitely would like to hold onto him — their playoff run this spring underscored the value of having two quality goaltenders — and the best way to make that happen would be to work out a deal with Las Vegas under which that team would agree to not draft Matt Murray if he’s exposed in the expansion draft. (Fleury, by nature of his no-movement clause, must be protected.
