it seems like there no shortage of options for vegas so they should at least have a tandem thats as good as half the league .
Exactly. People just assume that PITs protects Murray but forget that Fleury has a NMC and doesn't have to do anything. I don't expect that to happen and I do think he gets traded before he waives it to get exposed in the Expansion draft. I have a hard time seeing Fleury wanting to go to an expansion team. Buying him out to protect Murray is another option but one I am sure the Pens want to avoid at all costs.
Long story short, I think the chances of Fleury ending up in Vegas are slim at best.

My reasoning for Rinne is not so much because they have to protect him or Saros, and more to if they want to turn the net over to Saros. There's quite a few articles out there on how Rinne is more of a liability than an asset with how he's played the last couple years, and if it's awkward to make him the backup to Saros then maybe it's easier to just trade him (similar to Murray/Fluery). Plus in a cap world, having a backup that expensive eventually becomes detrimental.

"Fleury has no reason to waive"
You guys think Fleury doesn't care about his legacy in Pittsburgh? If he chose to not waive and the Pens lost Murray he would be vilified in Pittsburgh for the rest of his career. He'll waive before he costs the team, whether that's the right thing to do or not.
Bishop is also a chess piece, just like the Knights. The metaphor is too good for them to pass up on

Completely fair. I can see how that would definitely be something Nashville can and will consider. I think the most likely route though is at least one more season of Rinne while getting Saros into a 1B situation instead of being a backup. They can then hand the reins over for the 2018/2019 season.
