Otherwise, the Pittsburgh Penguins GM is going to lose out on the opportunity to get something of considerable value for goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.

The Calgary Sun has learned Rutherford is asking for the Flames’ first round draft pick for Fleury — yes, the sixth pick overall at Friday’s NHL Entry Draft in Buffalo.

It’s not going to happen, nor should it.

Fact is, Fleury’s value started declining heavily the minute the Andersen trade was made and will continue to drop as the Flames explore several other options such as Blues goalie Brian Elliott or unrestricted free agent James Reimer.

That said, the Flames are still interested in acquiring Fleury.

Surely it was explained to Rutherford late Monday that Fleury is five years older and more expensive than Andersen, who is a whole lot bigger than Fleury.

Jury is out on who’s better.

The Flames wanted in on Andersen and made what they thought was a comparable offer to Toronto’s. Calgary owns the 35th pick, which was in play for Andersen.

However, in the end, the Ducks didn’t want to trade the 26-year-old goalie to a division rival. Fair enough.
