Not a fan of any of these for the Pens.
Replacing Jarry with Fleury is a strict downgrade at this point of MAF's career. Per evolving-hockey, Jarry has a .907 SV% and 3.73 GSAx while Fleury has a .898 SV% and -0.93 GSAx.
Kane's always been a bit of a mess, especially defensively. Using Dom Luszczyszyn's Net Rating model, Rakell's +1.0 defensive rating is the best among Penguins. Besides, an easier change of scenery with proven success is moving Rakell up to play with Crosby and Guentzel. He has great chemistry with them, and not so much with Geno.
I don't think Dallas is willing to sell. They're true contenders and are at the top of the Central. Besides, Marchment's cap hit is a bit out of the Pens' price range without the above goaltending moves, and Steel has been pretty ineffective when he's in the lineup, which isn't always.
