I think people are severely underestimating what that would take. There are a lot of really naive assumptions being made about this (my favorite is that Fleury will waive his NMC so he can be exposed to the draft out of the goodness of his heart) but that one is a kicker.
If you are GM George McPhee, formerly of the Capitals that have been getting their skulls kicked in by the Penguins for ages, what do you ask for in return for leaving a 23-year-old franchise goaltender on the board? If you're Foley, a new owner trying to make sure your team has a hook in an impossible market, what do you let McPhee ask for in return for leaving a franchise goalie on the board?
