Quoting: mtdavis311
And do the next year, trying to sign Schultz/Dumo/Sheary with only 11.5 million in space.
Can't keep Fleury after this year.
Well look at it this way:
Fleury is gone by next season. My idea was for him to stick around during the cup run.
Kunitz, Bonino, Cullen, Dumo, Pouliot, Daley, Sheary, Schultz and Murray are all coming off the books. You could even go as far as saying Fehr is gonna find his way out as well.
There will be players in FA that the Pens could snag. But being a cup contender, they will obviously need to keep some of these players.
Keep: Dumo, Sheary, Schultz and Murray
Maybe: Kunitz, Bonino, Pouliot and Daley
Gone: Cullen
Sheary and Murray long-term, Dumo and Schultz 3 years.
Everyone but Pouliot will at max get 2 years. He might get traded.
Getting Murphy only means that one of Daley or Pouliot might be gone, or both. They will have enough cap space to afford these players that I talked about securing.
