This signing is a head scratcher. If he happens to have another bad playoff, the Pens are stuck with a contract they won't be able to trade away. It's even more troubling that they don't have anyone in their farm systemto replace him in a few years time.
Maybe Rutherford had a heart to heart discussion with his players to see if Fleury still has their confidence. It's the only reason I can think of for this contract extension.
