Wow thought for sure cgy would get fleury...you would think Pitt would just give him to cgy instead of him going to Vegas 

Pittsburgh is being smart, they don't need Fleury anymore and he's a prized expansion pick. It's almost a sure thing that he will be chosen which protects all of their other players. Seeing as the value to protect players is quite high, it's worth it to keep him and have him being taken in the ED. They rid themselves of the cap and maintain their roster for the price of player that will be gone for sure.

I thought so too but maybe Fleury wouldn't waive for Calgary.

I don't see why he wouldn't waive for Calgary other than not wanting the Canadian media all over him. There's not a whole lot of teams looking for a number 1 guy and I'm pretty certain he wants to be the number 1. I think it's more that Pittsburgh has put a high price for him and Burke isn't willing to pay for it.
