Jarry!!!! It is his net for now. Murray might play tomorrow because of the back to back but Jarry is the starter until he comes back to earth. Same thing happened last year when DeSmith started hot and took over the net. Jarry has more talent though and might not give up this net as easily.
No matter what I don't want to trade any goalies. Keep the depth.
I already want Jarry for playoffs, so I use MM at times to keep testing him. If he can't respond and get better, we know we shouldnt keep him . We trade him for a good return or if he wants to stay another year then fine .
Like Kessel...will always appreciate What MM did but its about winning now. I do think Murray will get back to that level as he ages, like Fleury did but we wont be able to keep 2 goalies anyway cuz of the expansion.
Jarry could win us a cup. He could have just saved the Crosby/Malkin era.
People keep mentioning sample size but MM had way less of one when he was at his best. And Jarry already played 36 games in 2018.
Now has a QS in every game but 1. And b2b shutouts. These last two games were playoff style hockey. And he showed up for us...kept it scoreless til we got on the board. MM hasnt done that consistently since game 6 of the finals. He def didnt do it in the last two playoffs.
.jarry should be the playoff starter. But Id still keep Murray for playoffs. Who knows if TJ hits a wall or not. Then MM can come in like he did in 17...winning the last 7 games(after MAF won 9). Then trade Murray at the draft.
Trade Schultz at deadline. Trade Bjugstad at deadline if he still doesnt look like a fit. They are two players we can still get solid returns for to make our Team complete for the playoffs. The returns dont even have to be players of equal value, just a better fit for the team/system we have this year.
