Well, this is perfect. The past to the future.

The Pittsburgh Penguins celebrated their second straight Stanley Cup on Sunday night, and it just so happened that goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury - who has likely played his final game with the team - handed the most beautiful trophy in sports to Matt Murray, who took his job, and is (somehow) a two-time Cup winner as a rookie.

Fleury played a crucial role in Pittsburgh's fifth championship, taking over after Murray was injured in warmups ahead of Game 1 of the first round.

The smart money has Fleury being selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the coming expansion draft.

Fleury was drafted first overall by the Penguins in 2003. If this is it with Pittsburgh, he leaves as a three-time Cup winner.
