I think Fleury would be an amazing addition for the Caps for this season, but most likely would be traded after this season to free up salary cap room. I know Fleury has a M-NTC, but I would like to think he would be fine coming to the Caps. Who knows.

And for those thinking Sammy / Vanecek as the tandem, I am not a fan of that for many reasons: Limited experience (26 games), no experience in playoffs, Copley as taxi goalie meaning only 1 goalie left in Hershey, what if one gets injured, etc. I do think Caps make a play for an additional goalie (whatever that may be).

I do not think the Caps would have to throw in a pick, but if it did come down to that, a 3rd and above would be suitable. I do not think the Caps would trade anything better than a 3rd.

This scenario is probably unrealistic (cap situation, Vegas trade, Brassard signing for $800k, etc), but would be interesting. If this did happen, I think this team would be pretty dangerous.
