Proposal: Fleury to Pittsburgh

[Drumman44]

I think the Blackhawks need to be torn completely down and don’t want Fleury’s HOF career tarnished.

Would Pittsburgh fans take him with 50% retention for future considerations? Any bad deals you want Chicago to take back?

BLACKHAWKS wont do this unless they totally benefit ,PASS

LMAOOOOO

Pens fans absolutely despise Fleury and can’t go a thread without degrading him in someway. This is never going to happen, especially at his age

You only find that hatred on these boards. The yinzers in the city still love him

If the $$ could be worked out the penguins fan base would welcome him back with open arms. What a mentor to jarry. The current pens boneheads though have no love for MAF and that's why it didn't happen already. Combine that with a good start from.jarry and the pens and there is no need.
As far as bad contracts going back, zucker seems like the odd duck out. Pettersen has a good start and eased the trade rumors a bit. Perhaps ZAR

wut ?

 

[Zirakzigil]

Ill happily take Flower back. 50% retained for Desmith and a low pick.

Done.

 

[SEALBound]

No. Unless you can find a bunch of teams to knock his salary WAY down, not a chance.

I don't want MAF back on the Penguins for a myriad of reasons, one of them is play, but there are many others.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

No thanks.

We all saw the Pens/Hawks game this year. Fleury even gets near a Penguins logo and his brain short circuits.

 

[orby]

At this point I think the only way Fleury will return to Pittsburgh is on a one-day contract. Although, based on his play this year, that day may be coming fairly soon.

Done.

At this point, with Chicago being such a mess, I would like to see them trade Flower to either Pitts or even a team like MTL if he wants to go.

Fleury @ 50% for DeSmith and a 4th
Fleury for Allen

Cap space when everyone is healthy? Pitt looks roughly $2m over?

The salary cap is just a suggestion

 

[Empoleon8771]

A Fleury to Pittsburgh deal would have to involve a 3rd team retaining half on Fleury as well, in addition to the Hawks.

It would have to be something like:

Pittsburgh gets Fleury at 25%
Chicago gets DeSmith and retains 50% on Fleury
Arizona get a 4th and retains 25% on Fleury

~$1.4m in real cash for Arizona and uses their last retention slot. If I’m AZ I’d be asking for a 2nd.

Add in ZAR?

I don't know of any team who has gotten a 2nd rounder to retain salary for 1 season.

Add in ZAR?

Over Sullivan's dead body.

why would a GM worry about whether or not their fans like the player?

 

[DesertPenguin]

Closer to the deadline, if the Pens look like playoff contenders and the Hawks do not, then yeah I could see us picking up some Jarry insurance. We'd need to be pretty confident it wouldn't torpedo Jarry's confidence, but whatever.

Returning assets wise, I don't know. With so many players out of the lineup, our role players are playing elevated roles and performing. In the off-season most were looking for ways to jettison Zucker or Pettersson for cap space, but both have majorly stepped up with all the missing bodies, and I doubt we would want to lose either right now. This could be a rebuild on the fly situation where the players performing well get elevated and those that aren't fitting Sully's system get sent out. We will see.

 

[mouser]

It’s very rare for a 3rd party to retain that much in real dollars 23%, ~$1.4m for a MAF trade right now. Most of these double retention trades are deadline deals where the 3rd team is retaining 5.4% of the contract for $150k to $500k in real cash.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Fleury is not a Jarry insurance tho. He’s going to choke too.

No thanks.

 

[SEALBound]

Just want to say no again just in case it wasn't heard the 1st time. No. No, no, NO!

 

[McJedi]

BLACKHAWKS wont do this unless they totally benefit ,PASS

You guys should make Pitt eat the Tyler Johnson contract. Get yourselves out of that bad trade.

Hasn't happened in about 15 years...

With Malkin, Crosby, Rust, Letang, the kitchen sink, etc, on LTIR, I’m sure we have the cap space.
