<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NateElder12</b></div><div><i>I like your optimism, but Carolina doesn't trade Teuvo and a 2nd rounder for Fleury. Maybe if the 2nd rounder goes to Carolina instead but I highly doubt they trade a 21 year old forward who can play any position for an aging goalie when they could try to snag Bishop, Allen/Elliot, or even Howard as a place holder until they are ready to compete. Also, all those players with one year left are going to be looking for some pay raises and Teuvo will most likely be seeking at least 3mil + so it's going to be hard to retain him without giving up Sheary, Pouliot, Dumoulin, Bonino, etc.</i></div></div> Yeah the second round pick was a reach; it's not really all that necessary, though I do think that you cast Fleury in a darker light than you should. Fleury is 31, he's not aging yet, and he seems to get better and better as he gets older. He;s coming off one of his best statistical years and would be a bona fide starter for any team in need of a goalie. Plus, if Carolina gets Fleury, they would have theoretically acquired him for a 2 and 3 round pick. That's pretty good value. For a starting goalie, regardless of age.
With regards to the cap issues, they'd have the 5.3 mil now with the 3.8 mil added when Kunitz's contract expires, so they'll have plenty of room to resign most of those players.
