Penguins goaltender Marc Andre Fleury was in the news this weekend as it was his turn to throw a celebration with the Stanley Cup.

— Philip Pritchard (@keeperofthecup) August 6, 2016
In the immediate days after the Penguins won the Stanley Cup, many likely assumed Fleury’s celebration later in the summer would be coming as a member of another team.
A trade of Fleury never came to fruition leading up to the draft (the only time this summer the Penguins were exploring trading Fleury) in June with two NHL sources, including an executive with a Easter Conference team indicating Fleury’s cap hit being the biggest obstacle of all in the Penguins finding no market.
That isn’t going to change moving forward but there’s a little bit more to the story on where the Penguins thinking is now on Fleury.
As many in the organization have now decompressed from a tiring season that had a great reward at the end, one thing is clear, Fleury has quite a few people in the organization rooting for him to regain his starting job, not surprising considering how well liked Fleury is, and the talk is enough got into Jim Rutherford’s ear to make him believe [hide] that Fleury has earned the ‘right’ as one source put it, to go into next season with an opportunity to win his job back before trying to jettison him out of town again like the Penguins were initially looking to do prior to the draft
The biggest backer of all in recommending to Rutherford to not trade Fleury from the get-go was team President David Morehouse who has a strong admiration of Fleury. Morehouse’s influence on personnel moves has greatly increased with Rutherford at the helm and unlike the Shero/Morehouse relationship, Rutherford and Morehouse have a great working relationship.
One team source says following the draft, Rutherford just completely stopped looking for any Fleury trade scenarios out there, which caught some in the organization by surprise and believing ownership made their feelings known where they stood.
Fleury told NHL.com this weekend he’s had some positive conversations with management this summer and is looking forward to try to win his job back.
“I love Pittsburgh, and the Penguins are my team. I want to stay with them for the rest of my career,” Fleury said. “I had some good conversations with management after the season. Nothing is written in stone. I want to come to camp ready to win my job back. I have to get back to the same level of play and help the team, win games.”
A source with the Fleury camp says a conversation between Fleury and Jim Rutherford around July 10th had Fleury coming out of the conversation believing he will have a legitimate opportunity to be the long-term goaltender over Matt Murray.
“Marc expects to play out his contract with Pittsburgh and be the guy,” the source said.
Wishful thinking?
Most likely as the man really calling the shots will be Mike Sullivan who smartly favors Murray, but because of how well liked Fleury is in the organization and some top decision makers looking at the Penguins as having another three to four year window here to win another Cup with Sidney Crosby 29 years old, I’ve had some in the know and a few contacts with other teams believing the Penguins goaltending situation could play out much differently than many expect long-term.
It’s not a way to make hockey decisions but don’t underestimate how much Fleury is admired as a person by key members of the organization playing a factor in how this plays out.
One of Ray Shero’s biggest faults late in his Penguins tenure was his personal feelings/attachment towards players impacting his personnel decisions.
Jim Rutherford will be tested here with the Fleury situation.
One thing is for certain, Matt Murray is going to get paid next summer whether it’s with Pittsburgh, another team with an offer sheet or a trade. The Penguins decision is going to be made for them 10 months from now.

Poll Time… the debate as to whether or not MAF is a HoFer is legit. He has no personal accolades but has had a solid career despite some challenging years and has won. He has probably 4 or 5 real good years in him left then all bets may be off. He is less than 150 Wins to 500 which is a mark only two have made it to before. he is less than 50 away from 400 and only one tender in the history of the game are not in the HoF, Osgood. So, if MAF achieves at least… Read more »
I say if he hits 400 its a good chance but if he hit 500 its a no brainer.
Re-Dickerson trade. I will knock it because he was a first baseman when he was dealt, so we could be seeing him instead of Jaso. At the least it was a waste of an asset. Not to mention, Decker is also an outfielder so….
John Jaso matters.
He was a 1B, but playing OF before he left. And I know Decker is an OF, that we got bc bucs were done with Tabata. Hindsight sure maybe they should have held on, but remember Hague the hit collector, and Curry were both ahead of Dickerson before the trade too…… so yeah easy to knock today, but at the time it was the right move.

Patrick Roy announces he’s leaving Colorado Avalanche organization
Another shittty french candian coach.
My guess is that the Avalanche decided they want to start winning so they knew they had to force out the French Canadian coach.
Now he can go wash cars in Chicoutimi with Bob Hartley.
he is going to wash your mom’s ass in homewood
This type of response reminds me of a middle school kid getting bullied.
Well of course it does – he’s not capable of anything else – he’s about as witty as a sea urchin.

Canadien quitter.
So according to Forbes Magazine, Canada has the 2nd highest rate of road accident death involving alcohol at 34% behind only South Africa, at least we’ve finally found something that we can prove Canadians are better than Americans at, unfortunately that think is killing people while driving drunk.
Looking at that report even farther, China only comes in at 4% of road fatalities resulting from drunk driving and Japan doesn’t even make the list meaning they are below 4%. I think this is solid evidence that orientals are just shitty drivers.
what you expect canada has so many asians arabs and blacks
3 worst drivers on the road
But the evidence shows that the people from the Asian and Arabic countries have far less incidents of fatal accidents involving alcohol. China is only 4% and every other Asian or Arabic country is less than 4%. So unless you’re suggesting that only the Asian & Arabic people that live in Canada kill people while driving drunk, this is all on the Canadians.

I wish i can apply for Obama doesn’t care health care plan
I loooooooovvvvvveeee that Sam actually think having more opportunities to get drunk is actually a justifiable reason why more people die because of drunk driving.
Last call in most places is around 2AM (give or take an hour) you fucking moron, end of the day its still not a rationale for getting behind the wheel drunk. Regardless of the US “not being far behind” they are PERIOD!
You’re an incredible piece of shit!

Canada may not be invited back next time. This is embarrassing.
Ya but how many Olympic medal assists do we have?
Excellent point. Sam, do you have the latest numbers here?
That Dickerson for Dacker trade paying dividends.
Good call on Vogelsong, Benny.
Personally, I thought he could be useful. But still upset they signed him and basically left it at that.
All of their SP acquisitions this offseason “could have been useful.” Just not in the roles they were signed for. Ben Lovejoy could have been useful at the end of the 2014/15 season, but he was forced into a role he doesn’t belong in and was a disaster.
This is about what I thought Vogelsong should’ve been. 5th/6th starter with a chance to stick if he does well. Nicasio should have always stayed in the bullpen.
Come on SV, Easy to say that about Nicasio now, I get its spring training, but Nicasio earned his spot to start the year. And your really going to try to knock the Dickerson trade 3 years later? when the OF is set (no room for him) and at the time we had neck lips as an every day RF who needed to be replaced? Plenty to tear this team apart with right now, losing Dickerson is nowhere near the top of that list….
Fair on Nicasio, but should’ve been on a shorter list given his history.
I must be a little confused 6ip-2r-0er-1bb-5k is more than I would expect from a middle of the rotation pitcher. Going farther, in his 2 starts since returning from injury and returning to the rotation he’s pitched 12 innings given up 6 hit-1 er-2 bb-11k, I’m just not sure what else could be expected of the guy.
As much as I would love to jump on his 2 solid outtings and rub it in “someone’s” face, I never said anything about the signing in the first place. Plus unlike some people, I know its a long season and where it is a nice story 2 good outtings is nothing to write home about….. more importantly though never cared/defended/reacted to signing someone who was coming in to compete for the 5th spot in the rotation in december.

Here’s one better. The Stanley Cup count from 1994-present: USA-23, Canada-0.
Did you also count how many Canadian coaches and Captain won the Stanley Cup since 1993?
Also – if you can outline, in each year, who had the most “game winner assists,” and their country of origin, this would also be helpful.
1993
I’m not sure what this argument is even supposed to mean, there are a ton of Americans coaching for countries other than the US in the Olympics but the US doesn’t get credit for the medals they win coaching for other countries so why should Canada get credit because a coach born there was smart enough to realize that his only chance of ever winning a Cup was to get out of Canada. Just another example of Americans being smarter than Canadians, American coaches know not to coach Canadian teams if they value winning.
American coaches cant coach in Canadian market they choke .look how your top 2 coaches failed miserably
wilson and Tortz .Imagine if DB went to a Canadian team fans would’ve ate him alive . only in Pittsburgh he was like god that fraud that doesn’t deserve the jack adams
EXCELLENT ARGUMENT… now a quick reminder… how many of the Canadian based franchises made the playoffs?
Just fucking stop already… I love my country and I know its contribution to the game and its ability to dominate on the world stage but you fail to see that the rest of the world has caught up. You look like a moron with every nationalistic post you make on the subject because they are so easy to take apart lol.
I mean we just watched a US born coach put this team back together for a Stanley Cup but you have to argue that US coaches cant get it done in Canada… where all 7 teams missed the playoffs. what a fucken idiot
Oh and Ron WIlson was born in fucking Ontario you stupid cunt
LOL, just to pour it on more… Wilsons worst record in TO was in a season he only got 64 games… he won 29 of them. Babcock seen only 29 wins last year through 82. So Canadian born, duel citizenship Wilson still did better in TO than Canadian hero Babcock has so far

When you watch the Penguins win the Stanley Cup mere months after suggesting the team “blow it up”
Or mere minutes before you suggest to do it again after the cup.
I was bored, but reading the posts below really made me laugh a lot. Thanks everybody!
Hahahahahahahahahaha bye bye Murray.
Come this fall, the Penguins will make Fleury great again.
Maybe, rumours heating up that the cup roster may trade 3 or 4 of its key guys… to stay in the hunt for the cup
Fleury is going to build a wall in front of the net, and opponents are gonna pay for it.
This is for Benny, why do you keep saying it’s up to MAF whether he stays or goes and that he can just sit here and collect a paycheck if he wants? He only has a modified-NMC that allow give a list of 18 teams he can be traded to, if the Pens want to ship him to 1 of those 18 teams he’s gone and there’s nothing he can do about it. MAF’s control over the situation is an illusion created by the team, if they want him go he’ll be gone tomorrow whether he wants to leave or… Read more »
what if no other team wants him?
Then he can stay with you in your mothers basement and periodically cum in her ass while you beat off off watching from behind a curtain?
Won’t be an issue.
Yup they will just trade fleury to team that he has no control on after 10 years of service classy move from a classy organization with classy fan base like gaydogg

I can’t even imagine how many wine coolers and hummus containers went to waste that night.
Go back to the kiddie table and leave the intelligent conversations to the adults.
honestly I didnt know it was modified. Still would wonder why another team would help them out… As long as he is here he has to be protected. I am not going to pretend to have an inside source, but what is more exciting for any team in the NHL, taking fluery off the pens hands to help them out (hoping 1 of 18 on that list have cap space and need) or not helping them knowing it will expose Murray? If they want him gone tomorrow, and the only team willing to take him is on his list of… Read more »

“Pens bring back a championship roster virtually fully intact this year… only prudent thing to do… blow it up” – yoda
#thisiswhyimprochoice lol
Hard to expect anything more from the moron that thinks M. Night Shamylan’s “Signs” is a National Geographic study.
you aren’t blowing it up. you trade kessel now for incredible young talent and the same with malkin. it could give the pens a window of 8 more years instead of 2. malkin and kessel will guaranteed suck in a few years.
And Sid. Who’s already declined in production two years in a row.
Yup yet he finishes top 3 in points those last 2 years he sure is on a decline. More like the league is harder but clowns like you and npl is all about points and entertainment
He’s clearly on the decline. In fact, he’s declined two years in a row, and is barely a point per game player now. That’s not even my opinion. Those are both factual statements. Oh – that’s right – it’s harder because Hornqvist isn’t finishing Sid’s perfect passes anymore. That is so sam!
“Guaranteed” – well we know all about your quality of guarantees. I still cry myself to sleep over the Pens 10th or 11th finish this year
you will be crying like a little schoolgirl in 2021 when malkin, kessel, crosby, and letang are overpaid geezers and the pens are cellar dwellers.
Actually I imagine most on that list could still be added to a cup run team late in their career. That is called the life cycle of an NHL franchise you fucken tard. Teams like Detroit were and exception not a rule… their willingness to go balls out in European scouting played a big role, the rest of the league caught on and now they are finally hitting a low point. Basically what you are stating here is that the team will have approximately a 15 year run of strong seasonal play and then they may his a rough period…… Read more »
i think jared hughes has more value than st.bleury.
You want to have two good goalies in case one of them gets sucked into…The Twilight Zone, which is absolutely real.
I do like having both goalies this year. I just don’t want to lose Murray in the expansion draft.
There’s no way they let him walk for nothing. I would imagine they let the first half of the year play out and gain a better understanding of the situation. Ultimately, I think they will keep Murray and trade fleury, but why rush things when you can go into the year with two Stanley Cup winning goalies? Use them both and see how it plays out.
Careful tbj… you’ll confuse the shit out of yoda
They should’ve done that to orpig and they didint
Every third post is about your ex-lover. Nobody else cares.
How is it even a risk to lose him in the expansion draft? You could literally send an email out 30 minutes before the expansion draft and have a taker for a 23 year old goalie with a stanley cup ring.
Well, that’s pretty on point, considering it’s you, and you’re a moron.
if the pens were smart, they would ship malkin. overall he sucked last year and he is a typical lazy russian. he takes seasons off at a time. it’s only going to get worse now that he is 30. move him now while he still has some value. ship kunitz. don’t need him or his 4 million dollar cap hit. they’ll be fine without him. trade phil kessel. he was awesome and his value is sky high. lets face it, he is going to suck big balls in the very near future. imagine him floating around from age 31-35…it’s going… Read more »
I’m with you on Fleury but blowing up a championship team is just stupid.
BAHAHAHAHA… so for like 6 years you have been clamouring to “blow it up” because “you cant win with these guys” and you were very wrong. Suddenly a coach rights the ship and the very summer the team wins you are right back in “blow it up” mode. What a fucken maroon LMMFAO.
Malkin value is going down every year they should’ve shipped him to oilers for that mcdavid pick along with bb now it’s too late
Jesus Christ… 1st off you say that like it was available and second… the roster is a championship roster. You two fucken retards have the combined IQ of a mealworm.
Pens would’ve won the cup without Malkin in the lineup
He was like 9or 10best player in the team but best theft when it comes to collect paychecks
But obviously average clown fans like npl and Stan. Ranks Malkin one of the best player in the playoffs based in points
Hate to be the one to break it to you… production does matter buddy. He was big early on when others were not. He was still a big part of what made the PP dangerous even when he slowed. You and yoda have this amazing ability to take these things away from players.
Sam thinks you win games by winning the most faceoffs – that’s the reason he can’t get sid’s junk out of his mouth.
Stain thinks having overpaid players in the roster makes the team look strong
“Stain” thinks winning the cup makes the team look strong. Dumbass.
outside of that 4 point game he had vs rags he was average player at its best thank god for the powerplays he was on board .only department he dominating was the penalty section he was consistent on that. Never disappoints
Wait… I posted the PP numbers during the playoffs and it had been established that Sid earned more of the PP as a % of his points than Geno did. It was also established that most of the top guys on the roster did the same thing, feasted off the PP. You were dead silent when that was posted… now here you are hoping everyone forgot (I know about 3 or 4 of us that didnt) running your idiot mouth like Malkin is the only guy that feasts off the PP. Thats the mark of a star player… If a… Read more »

Basically is 5v5 goal and PP goal leaders for the past 5 seasons. There is a correlation of talent vs production on both lists. While positions are jostled a bit basically the top 30-40 looks very similar on both lists. PP and Even strength, the top guys get it done!
Now with that updated… Total 5v5 goals in the past 5 years: Malkin 80 vs Crosby 71. PP goals Malkin 43 vs Crosby 36. Statistically Crosby scores 34% of his goals on the PP vs Malkins 36%. You suck so hard at life you are practically yoda
Democrat Stats
LMMFAO… 1st off stats dont have a political ideology, its called basic math retard
2nd… these links default to the 2013 season lol… you’ll have to adjust to 2016
you are a clown even tho sid had simular numbers everytime he was on the ice his line was far more dangerous when the russian line was on
not sid fault if horny and sheary were missing alot of chances in front of the net but then again average fans only judge players according to points .
yes malkin had alot of points and was top 3 inpoints or so but doesnt mean he was a top 3 player there were alot of players that were out playing the russian including Rust,Cullen to name a few
“simular” – Well Im glad looked dangerous was enough. Also I love the fact that basically anything that didnt work out was on his linemates haha… just so we are clear… Sid scored 6 goals all playoffs all by his self but Hornqvists 9 was all Sid and undersized rookie Conor Sheary had four that he had no business claiming as his own lol. Fuckenasshole lol
He uses this argument over and over again – Sid sets up everyone – and they blow it – that’s what makes him so much better than Malkin. I seriously could sh|t a better argument than that.
Yeah and Malkin excuse like every year since 2010 is he is injured. Yet he gets healed magically in the Plane when he is headed for the WC every year.
WAT? Here is a fun stat for ya… while Malkin sits 191st in the league over the past 5 years in games played he is 16th in total points in that time… you ******* lol.
PS that 191 is only a couple spots below Crosby
Sam – please reconcile zero’s post below. Thanks.
go back to your pokemon Go
adventure you hack
It’s much easier to just type “I can’t.” That’s how stupid people admit they’re stupid. Try it next time.
No – he really wasn’t.
Right! 3rd in points and goals with a +1 to Sids -2. Second only to Kessel in PP goals
No – the really wouldn’t have.
the pens are stuck with st.bleury. they are going to be stuck with malkin and kessel also. the pens have about a 2 year window before geno and kessel pack it in. move them now for incredible youngsters and the pens will be set for the next 8 seasons instead of 2. it’s not like you are going to move them for nothing. the returns will be huge.
You heard it here 1st… Break up a cup winning rosters as opposed to going for it again the next year. Words of wisdom from your alienzzzz prophet.
High octane stupidity. Or…what we’ve come to expect.
LOL.
all hail st.backup!
you guys thought the lariano deal was bad, just wait until they ship st.bleury. the pens are going to have to eat as much salary as the rules allow, and they are going to have to ship pouliot and sprong. the pens are going to get future considerations in return. hahahahahahahahaha! st.backup suuuuuuuuuuucks!
Fleury has had meltdowns due to play a lot of games and have bad backup goalies. Finally with Murray he can rest more so this might play in favor of fleury. BTW what has queen Henrik has done more then fleury in the playoffs. Last I checked he was getting pulled vs pens
who cares about the queen. F the rangers. st.backup has meltdowns because he sucks. worst playoff performer in NHL history.
“F the Rangers” yet for the past few years all you have wanted to do is “F Lundqvist”… or let him “F” you because it’s obvious in a relationship like that you would definitely be a catcher lol
okay guys, you think i’m so stupid because i’d rather have a 22 year old who has an entry level contract, has won a cup, hasn’t choked, over a guy who has had several playoff meltdowns and was replaced by his backup in 2 of the previous 4 seasons. you guys have been completely brainwashed by david moreheist. hahahahahahaha! suckers!
Only meltdown he had was Habs series and flyers series and the defense was garbage in front of him. Murray is a 2.0 version of cam ward. Rookie goalie hot at the time that took over gerbers job and since then he has been nothing to special
Fleury has a history of choking and you can’t deny that. World Junior Gold medal game. Numerous times for the pens in the playoffs. He let in that shot from the blue line against the Jackets in OT. He lost his job to Vokoun the year before that. He lost his head in the flyers series before that. Why not go with the younger and cheaper option? Sully had the balls to bench Fleury and ride Murray. That takes a lot of guts to sit an NHL starter for a rookie goalie but he did it b/c he thought that… Read more »
No we think you are stupid because Murray did weaken as the playoffs went on. A saving grace was the fact that the Pens defence also became a ton more stingy as the games moved on (clearly Sullivan seen it too). We think you are stupid because no one is arguing whether or not an MAF move should be seriously explored as much as we just wanna make sure Murray is not gonna be a flash in the pan or is in fact ready to handle the full time job. We think you’re stupid because you are so fixated on… Read more »
I think you’re stupid for a litany of reasons.
I still hope we trade Fleury b/c of age, contract and mental toughness but what does everyone think Murray will get if we do trade Fleury? Murray will be RFA after next season. Martin Jones signed a deal for $3M/season but didn’t have a cup either. Mrazek would be the most recent goalie to sign around Murray’s age and he got a $4M/season. I would think Murray will get more than that. I think the pens could lock him up on a shorter deal for $4-5M/season. If that is the case then why keep Fleury who is getting older?
Fleury’s future it all depends to see if Murray can play 60+ games this season. If so then fleury will be gone as I said last year Murray is th future for pens but not right away. He still has proving to do
You basically said exactly what I did almost 4 hours ago… it took you four hours to process and parrot my statement lol… not that it was profound but it was out of your ability to think ahead.
You clown I’ve said that few months ago as well
I doubt it
again, all he has to do is wait out the situation if he wants to stay in Pittsburgh….. relax collect his checks. The only way he loses on this would be if Murray is not taken in the expansion draft. If he wants to stay in Pittsburgh he can.
MAF will not be a Pen after the completion of the 2016-17 playoffs, main reason….. Aliens.
https://media.giphy.com/media/Ova4tbh0nCRWw/giphy.gif
That Giorgio is so hot right now… yoda, your thoughts on the matter?
If MAF is here its because Murray went all Jim Carey and will never be heard from again unless its a trivia question and MAF leads the Pens to the promise land again. If MAF were to be traded, he must have harnessed his inner 2012-13 playoffs self against the Flyers for the season and his glowing personality couldn’t save him. But who cares, I’m still enjoying the cup win and my Ranger co-workers aren’t.
What is funnier? Yoda acting like he knows anything about hockey, Sam acting like he has a fully functioning brain, Sam acting like his jokes are funny and his comebacks are witty or D acting like he has sources and has every had an actual conversation with anyone involved in the NHL.
I’m going to go with Sam, but man, it’s closer than you think.
hahahahahaah! what a bunch of BS. the real reason st.bleury may be the long term goaltender is because you can’t trade a clown who has 3 years remaining on the most overpaid contract in team history. they are stuck with that goof so now they are trying to spin it like the want him. hahahahahahaha! the pens are such A holes for signing that choker that they totally deserve to lose murray in expansion or even forced to trade that kid. i hope you all enjoyed the cup last year. if the clown is thrown back into the net in… Read more »

I like how people still cite offer sheets like it’s a real threat.
I like how people cite “some in the know” like it’s believable
not only has he had some in the know, he’s also had a few contacts with other teams. that’s two separate sources. that’s iron clad.
If someone wants to offer sheet Murray, and he’s going to get “paid,” i’ll gladly take the return for that.
