I'd like to see him go to a contender for entertainment reasons but I 100% understand if he asks to stay put in Chicago

 

[Mrfenn92]

Understand the ask but don’t think the hawks get that. But we will find out soon if he wants to play elsewhere for the last few months of the season.

 

[Foppberg]

I think that's a Washington Capitals ask, or "he really doesn't want to leave so this is the asking price".

 

[Petes2424]

Both the Leafs and Oilers put themselves into this position and will probably have to pay that price if they want Fleury. Chicago knows they’re hitting the desperation stage.

Still don’t think he leaves though and the Leafs can’t wait. Make the offer, if he doesn’t want to come, move on to the next best thing.

It’s the first time most fans won’t even care about that 1st round pick. Not after the goaltending we’ve witnessed.

they could get a 1st taking back term back on a trade, or it’s condition tied to him actually starting games Instead of just being a back up.

from my perspective asa Buffalo fan on trading Anderson I’d be asking

3rd as a backup G
2nd if he starts a few playoff games
a 1st if he starts 50%+ playoff games

I'd bet it's either Washington of Toronto, with the trades looking like:

Caps send one of their goalies plus a 1st for Fleury and a mid round pick.

Leafs send a 1st, Mrazek and a prospect for Fleury.

Sounds accurate ,the Leafs will have to include a solid prospect to make Chicago take Mrazek.

 

[JLarucci23]

Something around this maybe?
Toronto: MAF 50%
Chicago: 22/23 first, Mrazek, Robertson/Knies, Another prospect/mid pick?

Come on, you can’t seriously believe that’s fair…right?

Not moving Robertson/Knies for 1 playoff run of Fleury. I made a proposal a few weeks ago, 1st + 3rd+ Mrazek for Fleury @50%

He's a great goalie but you don't give up a 1st + top prospect with their entire career infront of them for one year of a 37 year old goalie, regardless of how elite he is

 

[Eggtimer]

Any way in hell a non contender that is desperate for a goalie and trades for him with wanting to resign him for 2-3 years happens? Shows MAF they want to commit to him and give him some security . Make the contract of full NMC?

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

What the market is willing to pay ultimately determines the price of a rental. Whether that crosses the threshold of acceptable value to a seller at say 2:30 on deadline day determines if a trade happens.

Like Lehner 2 years ago, It would surprising if that was a 1st. A 1st can't be the minimum acceptable value for this many players.

I would rather roll with Woll than pay that price for Fleury.

If Dubas was truly desperate he would make Nylander available and try and get a package that includes a starter that wouldn’t normally be available.

 

[quietbruinfan]

I think this is for WSH. McMichael and a second maybe a first. Toronto has Robertson but not much else.

Hawks can keep Fleury. The Caps don't cough up 1st round picks for a rental goalie and neither do other teams. I say a 2nd and goalie going back if salary is retained or Hawks take a bad contract back. If not, then a 3rd and goalie. The picks can be conditional based on whether Fleury starts in the playoffs, wins a series or reaches the 2nd round or ECF or something like that.

 

[CanadianHawks]

My guess is if he waives to EDM he will go there for a first and Koskinen. Fleury half price

 

[dj Mahoney]

Come on, you can’t seriously believe that’s fair…right?

Leafs in dire goaltending situation, price to fix it is extremely high.

Things are getting ugly in Toronto.

Dubas and Shanahan will both be fired If they fall on their face once again, The clock is ticking and 1 team will step up before the deadline and snatch Fleury up. Better grab a chair before the music stops .

say what

I don't think the Hawks get anywhere near that to be honest ! Imagine if he did say he would go to the Oilers but the Hawks wanted what will likely be a top 20 pick in this year's draft, Dylan Holloway, a mid 1st rounder from a few drafts ago, and the Oilers best mid pairing d-man still in the AHL developing....Dimitry Samorukov. I couldn't blame the Oilers if they said thanks but no thanks because that's awful steep for a 37 year old soon to be UFA with no guarantee of re-signing ! Can't blame the Hawks for asking for it though....

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

I've never seen a players value fluctuate as much as Fleury's had in such a short period of time.

Wins the Vezina, could have got him for a 5th in the offseason.
Gets off to a bad start on an underachieving team, 1st rounder plus.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

That’s one way to let the league know Fluery isn’t going to be traded lmao

 

[jetsforever]

I think he'd want to stay in Chicago but Toronto could be cool.

Supply and demand. A few teams in desperate need of a goalie, very few quality goalies available. Therefore, price of quality goalie increases. Basic economics.
