The trade of Marc-Andre Fleury from Vegas to Chicago has been widely reported. How could the Golden Knights do that to an outstanding athlete like Fleury, especially since he had just won the Vezina Trophy?

We understand the need to respect the salary cap, but Fleury was nothing less than the face of the franchise. This deal hurts the Golden Knights, even more so now.

Mark Stone's bunch didn't make the playoffs last year and it doesn't look good for this year either. All this coincides with the departure of Marc-Andre, while Robin Lehner will be absent all season.

To add insult to injury, the Golden Knights acquired forward Mikael Hakkarainen in the trade that sent Fleury to Chicago. However, the center has just announced his retirement due to a heart condition.

The fact that Hakkarainen announced his retirement, while unfortunate given his health, adds insult to injury for the Golden Knights.
