On this day in 2022, the Minnesota Wild made a trade to acquire goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury from the Chicago Blackhawks for a conditional second-round pick.
The condition on the pick was if the Wild made the conference finals and Fleury won four games in the first two rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs it would turn into a first-round pick.
Minnesota did not reach the conference finals and Fleury did not win four games so the pick stayed a second which the Blackhawks used to draft Ryan Greene.
In 11 games after the trade, Fleury went 9-2-0 with a .910 save percentage and a 2.74 goals-against average.
Fleury, 39, is 49-30-8 in 92 career games with the Wild with a .906 save percentage, a 2.81 goals-against average, and eight shutouts.
The future Hall of Fame goaltender is in the last year of his deal and is a free agent after the season.
