Medieval Maniac Morning: Fleury Trade Talk, Reverse Retros Soon?

We’ve changed the name of the daily once. According to in-arena host Bruce Cusick, the Golden Knight’s fanbase is called the Medieval Maniacs. So we’re playing off that, but open to suggestions. Neither my name nor the VGK have any fun alliteration with the words “daily, links, or wrap.” Stefen’s lucky.

Anyway, the Golden Knights play their second straight road game Tuesday evening against the Calgary Flames at 6:00 pm. Stay tuned for coverage of that. In the meantime, here’s your daily dose of news and notes from around the hockey world.
