Recchi? It's like deja vu. He's not the answer. He's too old.

If any player from Pittsburgh that the Habs should grab, it should be Maxim Talbot....

I wouldn't deal Huet as they need Huet and Price in Montreal....

Tell me that you don't SERIOUSLY think that Fleury and Ryan Whitney (a potential future All-Star Selection) are worth less than Komisarek and Halak, who couldn't even make the team? Is that seriously why you'd expect Pittsburgh to throw in a higher pick?

This whole thread has gone to crap, these rumours are getting so retarded, I had to check to make sure I wasn't on the Maple Leafs board.

I do not know why but when ignorant people make stupid comments it really irrates me…..look at all the top goalies….most are in the thirties……Fleury will be a star……I would not want to be the GM that trades a future all star for a #3 d-man and replace fluery with a mid range journeyman goalie……I can't comprehend the ignorance…..as far as Recchi is concerned that part does have teeth.

You're a moron and know little about hockey.

Fleury is the YOUNGEST starting goaltender in the NHL. He won't even hit the start of his prime for 5 more years, yet he was tied for 3rd in wins last year (and coulda gone for the lead if he had played those extra 10-12 games) which is the 2nd best in Penguins history.

To trade Fleury to the Habs, they'd have to give up Halak/Huet (or Price ha) plus Plekanec and maybe Markov.

Fluery is not going anywhere any time soon. Shero has said many times, that the team is sticking with MAF as their starter, he is 22 years old, he just came off a season where he was 3rd in wins in the NHL with 40. Just because he has had a bad start to the season doesnt mean that they will dump him for whatever team is willing to throw the pens a short term bone.

This is a team who has the strongest collection of players under the age of 26. Crosby, malkin, staal, whitney, letang, role players in armstrong and talbot, a strong prospect in esposito and yes marc-andre fluery. this team will get better every year as these players grow, this team isnt like many other teams that were labled as top teams when the season started as this team can afford to be patient as all these players come into their own (well crosby and malkin already have but . . .) and shero finds the right mix of veterans to play with them. there isnt a "win before sundin or modano, koivu or sakic retires and we loose our best player" feeling with the pens, their best players should still be here, funded by a new arena, 5, 6 maybe 7 years from now.

there is no reason to go tearing the who thing down, trade young guys for quick fixes, as I joked before, they arent the leafs. This team will fail with fluery, if need be for anouther year or two, before they even consider trading him because of his age and because last season we all saw how good he could be. And goalies dont hit their prime till at least 27 typically, thats 5 years from now for fluery.

Will the pens consider picking up a vet next year in place of saborune? Of course, someone who can work with fluery like T-bo did last season. An Osgood or Legace would be perfect for this team, someone who can play 30 or so games and can almost be a goalie coach when Fleury has a bad stretch. But will they trade him? No.

Yeah this,

1. Makes no sense as the Habs wouldnt need Fluery if they have Price,

2. its a horrible trade! Fluery (won 40games , 3rd in the nhl last season, has amazing potential and is only 22, he'll be a star one day, he's too young to GIVE AWAY right now) for Halak, Halak! Who has a .500 win record at the AHL and has only won 11 games in the NHL. IF Shero had hit the crack pipe and decides to give up on Fluery at such a young age, he's not going to trade him for a player who will be an average goalie at best, will most likely be a career backup, if he makes it back to the NHL.
Whitney, a player with 107pts in 164gms, a big player with a great break out pass who was 6th in defensement scoring last season, outscoring Rafalski, Mccabe, Kaberle, Timmonen, Zubov and Chara, who has just signed a cap friendly 4 year 4 mil a year extention for Komisarek, a good strong defensmen, but certainly not worth as much a Whitney . . . On and on top of it, the pens will give up a second round pick for a 4th . . .

who ever said that the pens dont want fluery, he's 22, he was a beast last season. He's had a bad 1/4 of a season, but so has most of this team. Shero has said he isnt trading fluery and that he is young and the team will stick with him while the team as a whole grows into a contender. The core of the pens are all under 25, this teams best players, unlike the habs, are still going through growing pains and have years to develope into a contender, they arent going to toss two players who will be part of that core for the next 5 or 6 years minumum away in a sad attempt to win next year, thats what the leafs are for.

go play in traffic, any head injuries might wake up some slumbering brain cells.

You must be out of your mind. Why would the Habs want M.A. Fleury when they have Price. There is no way Montreal trades away Komisarek and if it does # 71 # 11 or #87 would be comming the other way
