We don’t know if Fleury was available or not in 2014. It sure looks like Pittsburgh made up their mind on Murray quite early. Kinda irrelevant, really. Most teams would have traded for Bennett after his first year appearance (Anaheim, maybe?). That’s being smart in hindsight. The point was not about trading a specific first rounder, but doing what’s necessary to sign an elite goaltender - the most important player on ice. We do know that both MAF and Bishop were available, 100%. Tre didn’t pay. I think he had to do it.
