Minnesota Wild GM and Owner Picked Up Fleury From Chicago in The Craziest Way..
Unfortunately with the Blackhawks rebuild, it meant some key pieces of the Blackhawks had to go- Fleury being one of them.
Fleury was acquired before the start of the season, and was not even certain he wanted to play in a Blackhawks uniform. The Blackhawks acquired Fleury for a steal of a price, a no name prospect.
The loss to his value in Chicago is not the biggest, as they received a conditional first round pick in return.
GM Bill Guerin and owner Craig Leipold's hopped on Craig's private plane to pickup Marc-André Fleury from Chicago, what a way to welcome him.
It's very rare to see something like this occur, as the management usually sends a shuttle to the players with a random driver.
