I think pens say no. Faska is someone who we have a million of in the minors. Nameth is a good peice but no where near enough for fluery. The 2nd is usless sense dallas with a goalie will most certainly make the playoffs and the pick will basically be a third. Plus we take on lehtonen's contract which does us no good. Obviously lehtonen or niemi would have to be included but pens will want more if you are including him.

I think you are under valuing faksa. I could see him as replacing bonino if he isnt resigned. Yes that pick could be a late second but look at some of the pens seconds and thirds. Guentzel, sprong, if you want to go back to letang you can. what im saying is second and thirds arent nothing, its another asset and another lottery ticket on an nhler. draft picks are more valuable than ever. With how saturated the goalie market is and the implications of the expansion draft, I would be very pleased with a return like this.

The value of goalies isn't all that high. Teams know Pittsburgh has to dump Fleury, so why would they pay top dollar? Secondly, Faksa has potential and with Pittsburgh up against the cap his salary makes him more valuable than Eric Fehr. Third, taking Lehtonen back isn't the end of the world; Pittsburgh would expose him and his buyout is easier if Dallas retains some salary.

Pittsburgh doesnt have to give up fluery though. They can stick with the fluery murray tandem and give vegas some picks to have them take someone like sheary or rust.

Sure, that is certainly possible. But Fleury has alot of pride and I doubt he will be happy sitting behind Murray. Having nearly $9m in goaltending is not tenable in the long-run.

If it's to pass on Murray it better be a 1st and 2nd rounder minimum

Not to mention the penguins would have to carry 9 million in goalies next year. That's bad mgt.

Fluery has to go
