Fleury has one year left on his contract that carries a $7 million cap hit. He has a modified no-trade clause, which includes a 10-team no-trade list, and Chicago was not on that list.
Fleury, 36, went 26-10-0 with a 1.98 goals-against average, .928 save percentage and six shutouts this season with the Golden Knights. He also went 9-7 with a 2.04 goals-against average, .918 save percentage and one shutout in 16 postseason contests.
