I certainly wouldn't feel too bad for Rutherford if he had to buyout Fleury. He had a chance to offload him to the Flames, but got greedy and wanted our 1st round pick. Now he may have to pay the price because of his lack of foresight which will cost his owner $8 million and 4 years of cap penalties. A wise decision would've been to beat the offer from the Elliott trade and send Fleury to the Flames and relieve himself of this mess. Now Fleury can just sit and wait for a buyout and find the best situation suitable to him in the summer and possibly earning more money on top of it all.
