LeBrun: Hurricanes holding Haydn Fleury out of the lineup

[Nucker42]

I hope van

Good chance this is a "nothing to see here" moment. Gardner's back was acting up the past few weeks, he's finally ready to get back in the lineup, and of the two 3rd pairing guys Bean has been the better of the two this year. Just as a telling note the last few games, when Skjei took a couple penalties it was usually Bean on the ice in his slot on the kill rather than Fleury.

 

[ScoopsAHO]

Jeeze if thats all anaheim got for both.

DW managed to get Trocheck out of Florida almost for free, I just hope he can find the right flirty words to persuade Anaheim aswell.

I assume those flirty words would be to BM and on the lines of

"hey we got a job waiting for you in the offseason"

 

[RasmusAndersson]

Here it comes! Fleury for Virtanen.

lol ur kidding right

 

[SR]

To Toronto to play the 3rd LD/Depth spot?

Why is it always to Toronto?

 

[HuGo Sham]

wasn't he on waivers two weeks ago?

sure you're not thinking of Gardner here when they moved him to the taxi squad to bank cap space?

 

[GoldiFox]

Straight up for either would be bad, but if there’s also a 1st rounder or good prospect. Maybe.

If Manson and Rakell were involved I'd expect more like Fleury + Geekie + 1st

Sub Geekie for Bokk or Drury if desired.

No

1st, Drury, Fluery for Rakell and Manson would work

 

[flying v 604]

I hope van

Isn't he a left D? We have Joulevi and Rathbone along with Quinn. Unless he plays the right side?

 

[Djp]

If Fluery was ED exempt I’d say he’d have high value in a big deal. He’s not exempt so it coukd be a F-D equal age trade

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

It sure wouldn't lol

 

[Mal Reynolds]

to STL for Hoffman?

That could be an interesting fit. Fleury isn't a sexy name but he could be a nice fit there as a big, smooth skating, defense first type. Still under team control after his deal expires too.

How's he looked this year in Carolina? Going admittedly by only stats, his offense has dried up but that's arguably not his forte anyhow

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Is Rakell still injured? Or is he back

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Is Rakell still injured? Or is he back

He came back yesterday had a pretty strong game vs Colorado, didn’t look like anything was lingering

Thanks!

Could / would the Blues protect him in the expansion draft? I'm not sure how many teams would have Fleury in their top 3 for expansion draft protection.

I don't see why they would, however if they kept Dunn you'd think he'd be the more appealing asset to the Kraken. If for some reason they take Fleury instead, then you keep Dunn. This is without even looking at what forwards they could make available too.

Point being "overloading" with depth might not be the worst way to approach expansion... *shrugs*

 

[StreetHawk]

Fleury is the most likely candidate based on Carolina’s current contracts to be taken in the ED.

How many teams could protect him in theED?

If he was playing like last season’s playoffs, I would agree as he would be a cheap top 4 guy. Im not sure now.

 

[kilowatt]

LA makes sense to me.

The Canes are rumored to be interested in Sean Walker; LA has been rumored to be looking for young LD. Just saying, seems like the pieces fit here...

I'm not sure how I feel about that. Walker's been a really pleasant surprise in LA, and has shown more than Fleury to boot. What would the trade be? Fleury for Walker straight up? If anything, I would think the Kings would want a younger LD that they wouldn't have to protect in the expansion draft.

Yeah if the Kings move Walker it’s because they have other guys they want to protect and would want young d that is ED exempt.
