Sujet: Get a goalie and this team is dangerous
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Watty1</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gaudetster</b></div><div><i>pens would rather elliot than Zaktoff, I like shinkaruk but Jim Rutherford would ask for a little more i assume, maybe a 3rd?</i></div></div> Fair enough, but Zatkoff played well for Pittsburgh last year in the playoffs. I don't know if Pittsburgh plays the defensive game that fits Elliott so well, he and Zatkoff might actually be a saw off - and figure Pitt's cap situation.

Rutheford might get a 3rd, but teams know Pittsburgh has to move Fleury so that will hurt the return. But sure, a third could go as well.</i></div></div>

Zatkoff was well-liked in the Pens locker room, and would be more willing to take a backup role than Elliott would, although his form suggests he should. The extra cap space could bring in a depth defenseman and apparently Landeskog now. I know the Landeskog-to-Pittsburgh rumors will probably never come true, but just imagine them with him.

Sujet: Trade ideas for fluery
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i>IMO the Pens would prefer to keep Fleury and Murray for an season ending and playoff run. Now if the Pens can get a great deal for a team that needs a goalie for lets say a Dman, maybe the Pens pull the trigger.
I really don't think the "expansion and NMC" rules makes a whole lot difference in trade thinking now and till TDL.</i></div></div>

The expansion draft makes a huge difference in trade talks. If the Pens don't trade either goalie, then they are forced to protect Fleury because of his NMC, leaving Murray open for the expansion draft. Other teams can see what a predicament we are in and will lowball us. Besides, not many playoff teams will need a goalie with the exception of Dallas, but Niemi and Lehtonen make over 10 million combined, so its difficult to move them.
