Despite the fact I like having the two top goalies, it’s difficult when both goalies are used to playing the majority of the games,” general manager Jim Rutherford said Monday. “You get into weeks where they’re splitting and going every other game. That hasn’t worked, at this point, as well as I thought it would.
Fleury for EngellandCalgary, Dallas, Vancouver...you're on deck.
sigh...
I would think not. He's coming off two really terrific seasons. He has a lot of pedigree. And he's a super talent. Most trades are won by the team that gets the best player in the deal, Fleury is likely to be that best player. The teams I've listed are hemorrhaging goals: Dallas, Vancouver, Calgary all have worse goalies and some on worse deals.Couldn't Fleury be had for basically nothing right now?
Sky's the limit.Fleury for EngellandCalgary, Dallas, Vancouver...you're on deck.

We'd need to take one back in a trade. As in, the team we're trading with won't let us walk away without a goalie. Whether that's shitlord Brian Elliott, a reduced price Kari Lehtonen or Ryan Miller's expiring (I think?) deal, we're getting something back...If you trade Fleury, a competent backup goalie better be in the mix. Jarry needs to stay in WBS, and I honestly don't know who the other goalie is there.
I can't see Miller willing to be a backup.

Casey DeSmith, who is WBS property. Sean Maguire just started practicing with WBS after being injured for like a century and enduring a miracle to even be playing hockey. Beyond that there's no other goalies in the Penguins organization at this point. The two in Wheeling are Nailers property.If you trade Fleury, a competent backup goalie better be in the mix. Jarry needs to stay in WBS, and I honestly don't know who the other goalie is there.
And I can't see him getting another NHL contract. So, he's in a tough spot. Miller is not good. He's about to lose his job to Jacob Markstrom if he hasn't already. The only thing with him is that he has stated he is not interested in leaving the West Coast (his wife is an actress I think), so he probably won't waive to come here and may well sign in Las Vegas to keep his career alive. Miller is like 200 years old and hasn't been relevant since 2010 probably. He doesn't hold a lot of clout...I can't see Miller willing to be a backup.

Let him go to Vegas. I don't want him to come to the Pens and act like a pouty pissbaby because he's now a backup.
