It's the smart money play, even if you end up having to take less than that.

I understand that Fleury has a good relationship with Rutherford and I'm not sure he would be willing to stick it to the team he's played his entire career for. He's a pro and understands the situation. Also remember if he pulls off that stunt he can forget about negotiating a NMC/NTC or long term deal with any team on his next contract because no team will want to risk him doing this to them.
