Description

Possible scenario if Guerin can't make a deal with Fiala within the confines of the teams current cap situation. I would think he and mgt will do everything to try to keep him, but that would require other tough decisions/departures, and some of those are complicated by no trade clauses. This is the white flag, "trade him at peak value" scenario.

A lot of assumptions here

- Playoffs have Fleury far outshining Talbot (if that is not the case, then the moves to deal Talbot and sign Fleury make little sense).
- I'm at least close on Middleton's worth/salary demands - if it is marginally higher, then forgoing the deal for Holtby and signing the Iowa Wild McIntyre kid to backup Fleury for a year while Wallstedt continues to be groomed

Zane McIntyre finally getting a bit of love. 19-14-1 record in the AHL not great but serviceable. He has a GAA 2.45 and a Save Percentage of .920 which are solid. The defense around him has a lot to do with that and much of our top guys are still playing in Canada. So yea I mean if we can’t get Fleury back on a very team friendly deal.
- The Cap Hell would require that. Come on Billy use some of that we played together magic.
I think Zane could be a serviceable back up (for Talbot or Fleury), whoever we decide to keep. A very good d corps in front of him will definitely help. As we wait for Wallstedt to develop in the minors. I believe Russo mentioned that would like Wallstedt to come to Iowa next year for development.
- Zane would also help with out cap problems. We at the very least need to resign him to play at the AHL level, on a two way deal. (800 - 950k). That ballpark.
