Seems to me its almost a given that either Elliott or Johnson gets extended in January. A little surprised they couldn't find a way to agree on a 2 year deal for Johnson.

Fleury is still a legit option IMO. A deal I could see happening around the deadline if Murray is still clearly a stud is Elliot or Johnson for Fleury+
Pitt has to buy him out or trade him if they want to keep Murray. Fleury+2nd for Elliot at the deadline helps the Flames add assets while still having flexibility to see what Gillies can become while the Pens get a reliable vet to backup Murray for the remainder of the season and playoffs
