The NHL's expansion draft has allowed teams like the Seattle Kraken and Vegas Golden Knights to build competitive rosters quickly. Marc-André Fleury's surprising selection by the Golden Knights led to significant changes for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

After trading away Fleury, the Penguins have struggled to find a reliable goaltender, leading to injuries and poor playoff performances. Meanwhile, Fleury's time with the Chicago Blackhawks was tumultuous, culminating in a trade to the Minnesota Wild during their rebuild.

Now serving as a backup in Minnesota, Fleury's future remains uncertain as the team aims to avoid repeating the struggles that followed his previous trades.
