In my opinion not enough for Brodie or Fleury.
I think it's enough. Better than losing him for nothing, not many teams taking on that cap hit.

yeah, i don't think calgary gets off of brodie for that but i think we could get something for lehner (sam bennett and a 2018 2nd?) from them. fleury can maybe be had for that price. not a lot of up an coming teams are going to want to take that cap hit. we can. add in deslauriers to that chicago trade. they need two forwards to meet exposure requirements and if they protect everyone they want, they would have only tootoo who meets requirements. then you can maybe entice vegas to take ennis if they can't get at lehner or ullmark.
Absolutely no interest in Bennett. We've don't need another center to throw on the wing, we need a LHD. Maybe that's not enough, but the foundation is there and I think it could work. Could find something to throw at Chicago.

I like Fleury and all but we are going to be in cap hell in one or two years so why tie the team up in a 5,000,000 + 32 will be 33 year old goalie?
The way this team is set up, we have about 22M in cap space 2018-2019 if the cap stayed at 73M. Plenty of money to re-sign Kane, Eichel, Reinhart, TVR, etc. Then the following year Fleury and Kruger both come off and the buyout hits from Ennis and Moulson decrease dramatically. Gives us another almost 10M in cap space, enough to sign McCabe and whatever other small pieces we need. Then Bogo comes off that following year when things are starting to get a little tight but by then Guhle should be more than ready, we should have some other young prospects ready to come in and fill in the holes at a low cost.
Trading for Fleury gives us a goalie for now that will help us compete, and will be gone by the time UIlmark/Petersen are ready to have a go at full time duty.
