Report: Marc-Andre Fleury agrees to waive no-movement clause

NASHVILLE, Tenn. _ Marc-Andre Fleury could be headed to the Vegas Golden Knights.

According to a tweet Monday afternoon from Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports, Fleury has agreed to waive the no-movement clause in his contract and thus will be exposed in the upcoming expansion draft, which will be held Wednesday, June 21.

The deadline for a team to ask a player to waive his no-movement clause is Monday at 5 p.m. EST.

Fleury waiving his no-movement clause means there's a strong likelihood the expansion franchise will draft the Penguins' longest-tenured player, who lost his starting job in Pittsburgh to Matt Murray.

If Vegas takes Fleury, he would also count as the only player the Penguins would lose to expansion.

According to Lavoie, Fleury accepted the Penguins' request back in February to waive his no-movement clause _ only for the expansion draft.
