You're gonna have to retain on Fleury. How about a 3rd?

Canes just keep waiting on Freddie. Don’t think Gus is the dude…now if you want to talk about MAF to the Canes instead…

I'm sure that could be worked out.

It's seems like a fit, I just don't see MAF agreeing to a trade that far from family.

I mean it's a chance to chase another cup and the hurricanes make it super easy on the goalies

Absolutely agree, the local reporters all hint he would want to stay close to his family, but Canes are a very solid contender and would be difficult to pass up.

Love all of these accept the Gus one. He still is young and has potential to be a really solid goalie in this league. We have him locked up on a pretty fair contract for the nest few years. Trading him now is not the answer.

Devils will buy Gus imo

Gus arguably isn't better than Freddie. We know Freddie's coming back now, it probably means short of a true starting goalie (which I wouldn't say Gus is right now) Carolina probably are not interested

I'm thinking it saves a bit of cap space gives you a vet to help talk a young kid through some of the tough times. Two young guys in constant competition may not be a fully healthy situation.

That's a fair.

The competition part is a fair thought, but we have seen it work with the Bruins. Albeit there is a little bit of a special relationship between Ulmark and Sway. I would say you let those to run things for a year, and if it still seems like there is that unhealthy competition you mention then you can trade Gus. It might be nice for Wally to get to play with another Swede too.
