Fleury was a lower tier starter for a very long time and frequently sewered his team's playoff hopes with all-time bad performances.
However, in the last year or two he's been playing much better hockey and stopping more pucks and I would say he's now an average starter.
He absolutely isn't worth more than the 3rd that Elliott's resigning would cost but he is at least average.
Personally I think Halak is the best of the available options given the prices and contracts associated with any of the available goalies this year.
Pickard, Raanta, and Grubauer are solid but I don't think any one of them is a Talbot, Jones, or Schneider.
