My question is, doesn't Rutherford HAVE to say that?
If not, he's sure to get nothing back for a trade of an asset he HAS to move.
As well, what does the penalty for buyout look like on the Penguins cap? Aren't they a cap team? I would suspect having Fleury's penalty for the next 4 years causes them a ton of grief, especially if the cap turns out to be pretty flat?
Seems to me that they would rather take next to nothing for Fleury instead of taking on the penalty. I'm thinking that statement is just posturing by Rutherford.
