This time, though, Fleury was drafted by the new team on the block, the Vegas Golden Knights, during the NHL Expansion Draft presented by T-Mobile on Wednesday.
Fleury appeared on stage in Vegas at the 2017 NHL Awards presented by T-Mobile, wearing a smile and a brand new Golden Knights jersey.
To acknowledge the move, the Penguins tweeted out a touching tribute video to their veteran goaltender, complete with all the big plays, celebrations, goalpost kisses and pranks that endeared Fleury to his teammates over the years.
Tweet from @penguins: Vegas, you got a good one.Fleury, you are an incredible netminder, prankster, teammate, and an even better person. Thank you. #MerciFleury pic.twitter.com/DJXIgkJ18
Colby Armstrong, whose bag Fleury was hiding in during that clip, even chimed in.
