Another goalie option for Toronto?

If they are serious about winning, which I doubt, they should work on Bishop.  Also, Howard would be good insurance and could come with a sweetener.  Toronto is in a strong position with some excess prospects, so they should be able to deal.  Fragile Fleury, however, definitely seems like the wrong guy for the market.

Or they're just doing exactly what we did this past summer with Markstrom? 

Of course the likelihood of a trade goes up if 2 G on the team are being paid ~10M, but just like with us, don't think it warrants reading into much more than that. I'm guessing the asks LA is hearing right now are ridiculous.

With a strong team upfront, I wouldn't put it past either Winnipeg or Ottawa making a pitch for Marc Andre.  The goalies they have now are meh.

Ottawa has Anderson but yea, I could see those two as being good fits. Arizona as well could probably make it work too.

But if fleury isn't moved before the expansion draft they lose Murray. I cant see them just gifting him to the new team. One of those goalies will be traded (not necessarily right away) , it's a luongo/schnieder situation.

Ah right, forgot about the draft. Works out much better for us with Miller going into FA. Do you think they are more likely to move Fleury or Murray though? Probably more demand for Fleury but are they ready to have Murray as their starter?

I think they would love to move MAF but the return is low and the deal would be hard to make with the NMC. They may have to cut losses and trade Murray for futures (sound familiar?)
