It wil be interesting to see what happens in Carolina. They are currently over the cap 1.5M. Trading TVR would get them under, but they would be limited on what they could pay JP. Trading Fleury hurts them as well as a JP contract would for sure be more than cheap 850k Fleury is on, which doesn't help them get below the cap. That is before considering the 3M potential bonsues they might have to pay. Good thing that Marleau 6M dead space is only for a single season.
For the Oilers I think they have to target Fleury since there is no way in hell Carolina takes back one of their overpaid bottom pair dmen, which would have to happen to fit TVR.
