If the Pens are going to ship Fleury, I see them wanting to bring in a defenceman more than a couple of depth forwards. Fleury just makes more sense to a playoff ready team than a team whose 3-5 years from being in playoff talk.
I'm not sure this trade makes much sense for Toronto, however
I KNOW this trade doesn't make any sense for Pittsburgh. It just gives them more of what they already have, forwards. Unless you're combining this with Pittsburgh trading Malkin for Subban, they have no use for Kadri, a player who it's pretty well documented Crosby HATES. I don't think Rutherford would disrupt the dressing room chemistry like that.

I'd sooner kick the tires on another Bolt (Bishop/Vas) to add along with Stamkos.
You're all going to feel foolish about this when Bernier puts up 30+ wins and .918+ sv% for the leafs next year...

I have no idea if this is going to happen or not but it's so much fun seeing everyone swoon over the potential Leafs pickups this summer. The reality is likely to be pretty disappointing for people.
