Description

Look, as a Sharks fan I feel dirty as hell about doing this -and- it's nothing even close to reality, but I wanted to see if I could make the numbers work in any way that even remotely resembles "not absolute crack". As a mortal enemy of the Knights, it's in my best interest if Pietro signs, like, not just not with the Knights but as far away from the Pacific as possible. I'd really like to see him in the Atlantic division - I would LOVE to see him sign with the Panthers, as an example, but the rumors say he wants the Knights. Sigh.

Anyway, this tells me that it's *theoretically* possible for the Knights to get him if the team was prepared to make some *drastic* moves AND he was willing to do 8x7 with a full NMC for, idk, the first five years and a M-NTC with a 10 to 15 team no trade list for the last two years.

I hate that this possibility even exists, no matter how incredibly far-fetched it may be. Please go play in the Eastern conference, Pietro. Maybe go wear crop tops in North Carolina with Joel Edmundson! (I don't care where, just stay out of the Pacific division!)

Additional Details:

Gonna take a hell of a lot to move Fleury, but I figure that the Sens take this and then buy him out, play him as backup for a year and *then* buy him out, or bury him in the minors.

Additional Details:

I feel like you're gonna have to pay someone to take that cap hit - he's not bad, by any means, but woof is he expensive

I wouldn't take that cap hit for less than a couple of low as hell firsts, but I also have ptsd around overpayed underwhelming goalies

But this being an overpayment is not what I want to hear - I want to hear "you couldn't pay me enough to take that contract" etc etc thereby making it harder to get Pietro.
