Seriously?
That seems pretty dramatic to me.
The Flames need a long term solution in goal, and they can be hard to find. If they think Gillies will be ready in 24 months than a move like this is preferable to locking up a goaltender in his 30s for big dollars and term.
They'd have to like Fleury, but if they do his under 6M cap hit and only two years left is a pretty good window to fit the team's situation.
Having said that you're still helping Pittsburgh so use it to add an asset or get rid of one as well.
