AZ receives: Phil Kessel Marc-Andre Fleury 2023 3rd UFA (BUF) 2022 1st UFA - 21st OA (EDM)
Canes receive: Jacob Peterson 2022 1st UFA - 17th OA UFA (ANA) 2024 1st UFA (PHI)
Kings receives: Brad Marchand 2023 2nd Rd PP (AZ) Kings kicked tires on Fleury multiple times, but never really got anywhere with doc. It wasn’t until LA starting talking to Carolina again about Fleury and also in mid talks with AZ about Marchand that the three way deal came in place rather quick. LA essentially gives up more draft capital for another solid vet with a good cap hit. Hoping to really push it this year, but so is AZ. Doc continues to grab picks and got a couple for a non-keeper goalie. Thanks doc and Seth/Justin!

This was probably my longest negotiation. Feels like it took place from the beginning of Fleury's career. But, really, it was a really good back and forth and AZ and I had come to an impasse until FFF aka "The Matchmaker" stepped into the picture, and a week later we had one of his famous deals made.
I wasn't going to let one of the top 3 goalies go for less than a solid return. I feel like I got it. Now I get to watch the brothers battle for the Title!
Thanks Fellas!

Other than Campbell (and Justin and I hate the overrated oilers), there wasn’t a good goalie out there. We were also tight on the cap that Fleury made sense. He could even be our keeper goalie if Lehner continues to get injured. We have a good duo now to try and remain in the top 3 this season. Thanks Braeden and doc. Best of luck with Marchand and Peterson.

Interesting. I see this year’s goalie FA pool as the deepest we’ve ever had.
