Thread: Fleury Rumors - Thoughts
I know Caps fans love to bring in ex-Penguins, best way to be them without wearing black and gold, right.

However, Fleury is not the same goalie that he was in Pittsburgh. He really isn't worth $3.5Mx2 cap hit to a team that legitimately spends to the cap.

In any $3.5M retention scenario, Vegas would be paying a middle team to Take Fleury, retain the $3.5M then hand Fleury off to the end team. The end team would not be giving up much at all as 36yo $3.5Mx2 Fleury is not something that you "pay" for, and Vegas would be getting nothing in return, except $7M in cap space.

Something like:
Fleury, 1st to middle team for FC's (could be a bust of a prospect, just something with no real value)
Fleury with middle team retaining $3.5Mx2 <-> 5th from end team
Vegas: $7M in cap space for a 1st
Middle team: 1st, 5th for retention
End team: Fleury at $5.3M for a 5th

Thread: What To Do In Net
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>and the 1.5m free agent is miles apart from a 3.5m one in terms of quality i dont know what you arent getting about this. With rask that team has a much higher chance of winning the cup this year. while alexeyev is a quality prospect. the bruins dont need 2 more defensive prospects. They need center prospects. Hagelin isnt worth the 2.75m for 2 more years from a bruins perspective. we have plenty of bottom 6 options. the offer isnt worth doing from a bruins aspect.</div></div>

The Bruins point of view in my point is not relevant, at all, because the Capitals would never have put forth the trade suggestion from go. Period. The trade suggestion would never have tabled so the perceived values are not relevant.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>Did you miss the end where i said i DONT LIKE RASK... but regarless, so they signed lundqvist this offseason to not play? makes sense to me. they signed a veteran goaltender to split time with samsonov until hes ready for fulltime net work. What happens if samsonov stinks. Lundqvist was supposed to be the insurance option. Almost any team in the league would take rask as their goalie including the capitals. However...

You do realize that Holtby was the hands down starter last year? You realize the capitals didnt want to commit big aav or term to the guy cuz he was not having good seasons year in and year out look at his 5 year stat line. Got hot for the cup run and thats really it. Im not saying they dont want to eventually transition to samsonov... but I think we would have seen more of him last year if it was "his net" right now. You dont sign Henrik Lundqvist if Samsonov is your bonafide starting goaltender.</div></div>

You are missing the point.

And a $1.5M free agent option is miles apart from a $3.5M one that also cost Alexeyev, Johansen, and Hagelin to acquire. But I dont expect you to understand that either.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>In order of quality Rask&gt;Samsonov&gt;Holtby.

Holtby had a 3.11 gaa and a .897 save percentage. Samsonov had a 2.55 gaa and a .913 save percentage. Rask had a 2.12 gaa and a .929 save percentage. Im pretty sure the caps would take rask in a heartbeat if the right deal popped up and samsonov would 100% be on the bench. Numbers arent close. But yeah I bet the caps would rather have a kid with 26 games played in the nhl try and lead their team to a stanley cup lmao. I dont even like rask, quality of goalie though 1 of those 3 is not like the others.</div></div>

Taaaakkke the home glasses oooff. I even spelled it our for you any you went homer AGAIN. I never metioned or hinted at any kind of relation to the Rask/Samsonov/Holtby greatness tree.

The point is the the Caps want Samsonov to take the net, they do not want to give it to anyone else.

Nobody cares what Rask's stats are, nobody cares what Holtby's stats are, nobody even cares what Sansonov's stats are. The point is... LOOK&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; the point is that the Caps want to give the net to Samsonov, Don't say Rask again. Don't compare Rask to anyone, nobody cares. It's Samsonov's net. That is the point.
