I read somewhere (Twitter, perhaps) that McPhee said Fleury made it clear he wanted to play for Vegas. He gave the impression they talked about it months before the draft.I suppose Fleury was well aware that he would have to go somewhere else if he wanted to remain a #1 goalie and that Vegas might be his best bet.
Not knowing all the rules when it comes to player movement, wouldn't that be considered tampering? If it actually did take place.
Also, if it did, Fleury knew he wanted to go where he would be assured as the starter. As Gaucho says, Vegas would be that place.
