I feel like Rutherford was asking the Leafs for the 1st OA for Fleury, and just moved down the list when they got Andersen. Flames...6th OA!

One of the things that Rutherford seems to have forgotten is that there is a time value to assets as well; the longer he waits, the less he gets for Fleury because of the UFA market opening up on July 1, the season starting in the fall, and after that Vegas. And a little thing called Penguins' salary cap.

I'm hoping that BT threatened to take Rutherford off of his "friends and family" list.
