I think it depends on how Fleury does the rest of the way this year and also how much they think of Jarry and Gillies.

IF the following happens, things would work out quite well for the Pens:

1) Fleury takes them to another championship;
2) They can't get the return they want for Fleury;
3) Flames offer 16OA and Gillies (maybe plus more?);
4) Jarry comes in as Fleury's backup and eventual replacement;
5) Gillies develops into what Murray and Jarry are;
6) Trade Gillies or Jarry for another first round pick.

If they manage the asset well, the Pens could get two first round picks over the next few years while still having championship level goaltending versus if they traded Fleury now for only a 2nd round pick.
