Goalies with Murray's stats are available for nothing. Don't waste assets.

You answered your own question. However, teams need two good goalies these days. I personally don't really see any reason to spend assets in a trade to acquire one at this time. Sign someone to split duties with Bernier off of UFA. The odds of someone being worse than Howard in 2019/20 is slim to none.

There is nothing about Murray's stats you can't get in UFA for cash.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi: 115 NHL games played. 42 points. 0.36 PPG average. Barrett Hayton: Only 20 NHL games played so far. 4 points. 0.20 PPG average. Filip Zadina: 34 NHL games played. 18 points. 0.53 PPG average. I can pick any random 2nd grader off the school bus and ask them which of these players is the best so far and they would all pick #3. You're either joking or know nothing about hockey.

Keep in mind his two cups came in his first two seasons. He has been more inconsistent since. Gotta imagine hose two cups come into play when negotiating his next contract as well. If we were a contender now in need of an experienced goalie, I'd probably bite. But a rebuilding team shouldn't be spending assets on these types of moves.

Bernier stats behind our "wonderful" defense sipped from NHL.com Murray's on what I think we can agree a much better Pens defense. Murray had some nice company where he is sitting with Bob and Anderson. I wonder if part of Murrays "issues" were that he was looking over his shoulder worrying about the the other guy taking over. Dependent on cost I might be tempted to make the call to the Pens

One thing that leads me to believe Zadina will get better is his lower body. Dude is as brickhouse waste down. Thats a good sign.

"So there have been many people who have jumped to the conclusion that Datsyuk is homophobic. He might or might not be, I don't know. It's just as likely that Datsyuk simply does not want to speak out against his church or to say something that would get him in hot water in Russia. To jump to a conclusion either way on that small quote is irresponsible... By simply being asked that question Datsyuk is in a no-win situation; he supports the anti-*** laws and he is hammered in North America, he supports *** rights and he's in trouble in Russia." From the article.

CRL: " Zadina is a bust"... CRL: "Well, not really a bust per se, but in the mold of a Hudler, Nyquist, Tatar"... CRL: "Zadina's potential to be a very complete Hossa type winger is definitely there"... Nope, not backpedaling at all... Except for the fact that you're wrong... Struggling to make the NHL? Says who? He's 20 years old, and will absolutely, 100% be on the opening night roster, and play a full season in the NHL next season... So there's zero chance he comes close to Kucherov, despite being ahead of him in his development at the same age? Yeah, okay. Again, not likely, but not impossible either. First of all, I never said any of those things. Not even close. Secondly, what I'm saying here is not all that far fetched. Basically, he will be better than a 2nd line winger, likely a top line winger, with the potential to be a top winger in the league. Again, very plausible.

No. He prefers to be right, even when facts and figures say otherwise.
