I personally would politely decline that Pens trade.

I would as well.
We need youth and speed in out bottom 6 and Poehling provides that better than pretty much anyone in our system right now. Lorenz was drafted fairly highly but his first season in Denver wasn't particularly productive and it looks like he's gonna take some time before he does us anything. And hasn't Fleury said he's not interested in being traded?

Exactly. The Pens need players who are at the NHL level now. And Poehling is one of the very few young roster players they actually have and brings a ton of speed as you said which they need. If the Pens were rebuilding, maybe this makes sense.

I'm not familiar with what Fleury has said - I just don't see any benefit in the Pens trading for him. At this point he is no better than Desmith, but is making 1.8mil more.

Fleury is better than DeSmith, but at his age, I'm not sure for how long that will be the case.

Idk man - I really don't think he is. MAF has put up the same numbers as Desmith the past 2 seasons. but played in front of a significantly better defensive team. I think the case of him being better has already passed

Look, I think that DeSmith is typically a pretty solid backup. But nothing more. MAF was Minnesota's 1A this year, he started more than Gustavsson. Casey got worse this year with a bigger role.
Getting more into the stats, from MoneyPuck, MAF had a .909 SV% 6.6 GSAx in 46 games this year. DeSmith had a .905 SV% and 2.9 GSAx in 38 games. GSAx isn't affected by the strength of the team's defense.

Being a 1A doesn't mean he's better. Just starting more games doesn't mean you're better - I think you can understand that. Gustavsson embarrassed Fleury this year too. Desmith didn't get any worse - the play in front of him sucked. He faced high danger shots at a higher rate than any goalie not on Anaheim.

Desmith vs Fleury the last 2 seasons

Save percentage: Desmith .908/MAF .908
GSAA per 60: Desmith 0.09/MAF 0.08
High danger shots per 60: 9.77/MAF 8.16
Money Puck GSAx: Desmith +3.3/MAF -11

Nothing says MAF is better - like I said they're pretty equal - but if you have to make a decision it actually shows Desmith is better.
