What should pittsburg have done? they should have got a good defenceman and what did florida get. 3 pick and a young player that has lots to prove.

Yes, a lot of people are comparing Fleury to Roy and Brodeur, but you know what? They have good reasons to. This kid is amazing. Sure, he won't play in the NHL for 2-3 years, because he still has to mature and get some more experience under his hands. But I'll tell you, when he comes to the NHL, I can see nothing but good things if he keeps up the way he plays (and wears HUGE pads, of course. lol).
