Should the Sens make a trade for Fleury?

[TB1299]

Anderson is getting up there in age. Pens have a young kid who they are going to build around but might need a good veteran to split the duties with.

Pens could use the lower cap space of Anderson.

We get a cup winner who.has struggled a little but seemed to get it back this past year. Him and O'connor could be a good tandem.

Anderson is better and cheaper. No thanks!

One for one, I'd consider it, not because I like Fleury, but because he gives us more time than Anderson would to find a long term solution.

We'd be spending an extra 1.5 on goaltending, which is manageable. Not sure we'd be the only bidder though; certainly there are other teams looking for a solution in nets (Calgary for example). Pittsburgh likely doesn't value Anderson all that much, so I think other teams would be able to out bid us.

 

[HoffStoneKarl*]

I dunno. Fleury is a rockstar in the regular season, but has struggled in the playoffs.

I don't think we should trade for him personally

 

[Zorf]

With his reputation for inconsistent play, he'd get eaten alive by fatGarrioch and idiotBrennan. Fans would turn on him in a real big hurry.

Unless Pitt is willing to eat 50% of his salary, it's a real easy no for me.


Fleury to Calgary makes a lot more sense.

 

[Sun God Nika]

not interested in higher cap hit, do agree with the notion that we need to dump anderson.

 

[Scrub*]

Yes, clearly the answer to our problems.

I don't get this... I mean, Anderson is getting up there in age, and we need to have a plan for succession, but needing to dump him implies he is currently or will hurt the franchise before the end of his contract.

He's signed for 2 more seasons at 4.2 mil. There is no reason to believe that he won't be a quality starter for next season, and while age can catch up in a hurry, he could easily still be earning his contract in the final year.

To be honest, I could see us extending with a backup contract. Something at or under 2 mil per.

If an option to land a true, long term start arises, we jump on it. But getting ride of Anderson should be way, way down the list of our priorities.

Anderson + Borowiecki + Puempel
to
Calgary for Colborne + Engelland + Ortio + Shore/Bouma

Z. Smith + Ortio/Hammond
to
Pittsburgh for Fleury

Who in their right mind trade zack smith for fleury? Guys like that are exacly what you need in your bottom 6 to win cups

fleury sucks, honeslty anderson is better, fleury is very meh. Wouldnt mind packaging hammond for him with a B prospect or 2nd round pick tho

 

[Sensinitis]

No they should not.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

MAF and a 1st for Chiasson and we buy MAF out. Looks good to me.

 

[Langdon Alger]

This. Not sure why this needs its own thread.

 

[Bileur]

Anderson is better and cheaper. No thanks!

This is the correct answer.

 

[BondraTime]

We should never, ever, even consider the thought of trading for Fleury. That would be monumentally stupid.

 

[Tundraman]

If Dorion makes that trade he might as well resign as GM

 

[BonkTastic]

MAF and a 1st for Chiasson and we buy MAF out. Looks good to me.

This team is too cheap to buy 1st round picks.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

This team is too cheap to buy 1st round picks.

Yeah I know its never going to happen in a million years but this is a weird thread anyway.

 

[albator71]

No thanks!!! Fleury is not the answer to our problem.

 

[Senscore]

Dude is good, but inconsistent. Besides, he'd be a lot more exposed behind our defense.

And with that price tag, it's an easy no.

 

[Langdon Alger]

This team is too cheap to buy 1st round picks.

Yeah, it's totally worth trading for a player who has 3 more years at 5.75 just so we can get a late first round pick. Having Fleury on the books for 6 more years is great for us.

Also, why would Pittsburgh include their first round pick to trade Fleury when there are teams out there who are looking for goalies? I'm sure they can get a better return than Chiasson and not have to give up their first round pick.

Stupid thread anyway though.

 

[stempniaksen]

I know people want a contingency plan for when Andy eventually declines, but he's still a top-15 starting goalie at this point in time. There's no reason to dump him until he gives us a reason to. The way the org strutured Hammond's deal is really telling, imo. This is Anderson's team until his contract is up, at which point the front office will take a long look at what's available.

 

[Back in Black]

Let’s see.

The Pens didn’t think he was good enough to replace a rookie Goalie, so I’m sayin’ NO!

 

[Knave]

His caphit is nearly 6 million and he's only 3 1/2 years younger than Anderson.

No thanks.
