Rumor: Marc-Andre-Fleury wants out of Vegas

[Pinkfloyd]

Fleury to San Jose for Martin Jones. Let's go!

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

MAF + a small add to Pittsburgh to buy out Bjugstad makes sense.

Or to Carolina to take Gardiner, retain 1.5m and flip him.

Reallocating cap in this way would be on brand for Carolina. Gardiner is in the way (Slavin/Skjei/Fleury and Bean in the AHL). Flip Mrazek, probably with some retention, and the net cap effect is modest.

 

[Jerkbait]

Which team would be interested in a 35 year-old 7mil backup for the next two years?

Pittsburgh

 

[Beerfish]

Lol on what planet is the Penguins window closed but the Oilers window still open?

The Oilers are a garbage fire outside of McDavid and Draisaitl.

Draisitl is 24 and mcdavid is 23. Malkin 34, Crosby 33.

Hey I do not think pitts window is closed but 10 years in age is a fair bit. Also remove syd and geno from pitt and are they going to be good either?

 

[MissouriMook]

Is it a given that Lehner is re-signing in Vegas? A lot of teams need a top flight starter and he hasn't really gotten a big payday yet. Who can say whether or not he will chase the money?

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

Still say Lehner hits UFA and Fleury stays put.

I totally forgot how reputable Hockeyfeed is as a source.

 

[shortfuze]

Andersen+Johnsson for Fleury and something small?

I kid, I kid but seriously though?

 

[GoldiFox]

Gardiner + one of Reimer/Mrazek for MA Fleury would be palatable

Fleury has no value with that Cap hit and a 10 team NTC. Vegas will have to eat a bad contract if they want to move him.

Well, I take that back with the off-chance that Vegas gets a senile JR special because he can't help himself but to acquire old retreads.

 

[CupInSIX]

Andersen+Johnsson for Fleury and something small?

I kid, I kid but seriously though?

Sure.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Basically Fleury should fire his agent right now. This shouldn't be a thing at this time of year.

 

[Dead Thing]

I'm likely in the minority on this, but I'd be ok with Fleury coming to Detroit(and I am aware he has a no trade list-but Stevie can talk him over). He and Bernier can split duties until one of the youngsters(or Askarov) emerges from the minors.

Deal #1
Flower(no retention) + 1rd. pick(24-31OA)
for
2020 Edm. 2nd(45OA) + Vegas 2021 3rd.

Deal #2
Flower($2,000,000 retention) + 1rd. pick
for
2020 Edm. 2nd(45OA) + Wash, 2nd(58OA) + Vegas 2021 3rd.

Flame away

I'll take door #1

 

[Syckle78]

If he's only interested in playing out the rest of his career getting time in net I would be more than happy having him in Detroit as a placeholder.

 

[torniojaws]

Which team would be interested in a 35 year-old 7mil backup for the next two years?

Edmonton is experienced in these things

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

They are screwed. There are about 10 better goalies availiable.

 

[Djp]

That's a pretty liberal (not in the political sense) use of what the sources cited said.

It doesn't take an insider to see that this is an untenable situation beyond this year for a number of reasons, though.

What is the source.

He’s been around enough to not say this while team still p,acing.

 

[CanadienShark]

Penguins get Fleury at $3.5 million
Habs get a 2nd or 3rd from Vegas, but eat half of Fleury's contract
Vegas gets DeSmith

Habs get a pick at only the cost of money and cap space, the Knights save money and get a decent backup to Lehner and JR can jerk off to the fact that he re-aqcuired another retread. Wins all around.

You think the Habs are willing to take on $3.5m cap for two years for a very late 2nd or 3rd? Come on man, that's absurd. Other teams win at the expense of the Habs.

 

[SI90]

Back to the Pens for Murray +

 

[CupInSIX]

Back to the Pens for Murray +

Then where does Vegas flip Murray to?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Back to the Pens for Murray +

What did I ever do to you to be this cruel to me?

 

[HldMyBeer]

trade you for jones and Couture, with you retaining all salery (cap hit)

 

[Mr Positive]

lol Oilers want him?

Koskinen has better stats. We don't have cap space to burn on a backup making 3 million more than the starter.

 

[zar]

Lol on what planet is the Penguins window closed but the Oilers window still open?

The Oilers are a garbage fire outside of McDavid and Draisaitl.

Then guaranteed Hart for Draisaitl.

 

[SI90]

Then where does Vegas flip Murray to?

Nowhere. Lehner to Carolina

 

[CupInSIX]

Nowhere. Lehner to Carolina
