I like the option with Jaskin, I know little about Fleury, but it seems that I recently saw a deal, Fleury for Nylander was suggested by a Carolina fan, although I would rather give Thompson or Sheary.
As a Canes fan, I'd rather include Fleury as an adder to a bigger deal than to trade him for a Thompson or Sheary type. Canes already have too many Thompson/Sheary types in both the NHL and AHL so neither of them is very enticing at all. With McGinn, Wallmark, Foegele, Martinook, and Maenalanen already at the NHL level along with Saarla, Geekie, Gauthier, Kuokkanen, Roy and others at the AHL level, the Canes need is more at the top of the line-up. I realize though, that Fleury won't get them a higher end player alone and in fact, likely won't be the major piece of any deal for a higher end player.
The complicating factor for Carolina is that both TVR and de Hann had off season shoulder surgery. de Hann definitely won't be back to start the season and TVR is iffy as well, so they may not be eager to move a defenseman right now.
