Trade Proposal: Fleury for Elliott
Just read that Pittsburgh GM Jim Rutherford may be interested in trading Marc Andre Fleury before the trade deadline. It had me thinking, would anyone entertain the idea of trading Brian Elliott for Marc Andre Fleury?
From my point of view, it would be a mutually beneficial trade as it allows the Penguins to protect Matt Murray without having to buyout Fleury as well as a servicable backup or 1B for their playoff run and for the Flames, they receive an experienced starting goaltender who has shown #1 quality netminding in the past. Perhaps Pittsburgh could also throw in a draft pick as well as an incentive or retain some salary which could make the deal more palatable.
