There is talk of Vegas dumping Fleury, but that is only if they choose to keep Lehner. Detroit would be among a very small few (Chi, Buffalo, and Calgary possibly Ottawa and might be missing one other) that would need a starter. But only Det, Buf, and Ottawa could afford Fleury. It would make him a cap dump and you are paying too much back for a net-minder that will be 36 before the season starts next year. Goalies at the end just fall off a cliff....not sure any of those rebuilding teams want that in two years.
Market for goalies is saturated and trade values worth very little. Cap dumps yes--teams always want picks--hockey trades: no.
