At this stage .. I think they protect Gus.. I think the decision is more Gus or Daccord.. but will got to Gus.. Murray gets exposed because of 2 things combined .. Poor play and over payment.. Good risk for the Sens. The only thing that would change that is Dorion's ego , saving face for the contract. He has a few of those to deal with but has to be able to make clean slate decisions for the present and the future.
Protect Gus at all costs. He's easily the pick up if we expose him.
The fact we're talking about Murray having ihs confidence shattered, rather than losing our veteran goalie speaks a lot. How hard it is to say to Murray "Hey, we've sent Kraken a pick to guarantee they don't take you," and not actually do so?
I hope you're right, but I still just feel like he won't be able to get over the bolded part. Also the whole "message it sends" silliness. I'm 100% in on protecting Gus and I think it would be a mistake not to. I hope I'm wrong, but I still have a bad feeling we're going to go with protecting Murray.
Yeah. I know people point to Tierney but if I'm Seattle I'm taking the potential #1 goalie over a bottom 6 player any day of the week.Protect Gus at all costs. He's easily the pick up if we expose him.

Yup. Holtby + Allen + Gus and you're set in nets for next 5 years.Yeah. I know people point to Tierney but if I'm Seattle I'm taking the potential #1 goalie over a bottom 6 player any day of the week.

This is such a tap in move.
Do not f*** this up Dorion.
I wouldn’t need to worry about Murray’s confidence being shattered if I had Gus playing in net instead.
This is the big leagues and this goalie has won it all twice now, if you can’t handle being exposed to the expansion draft while also being guaranteed $6M a season then maybe you aren’t the right person for the job to begin with, and wouldn’t be the one to bring the team to the promise land. If being exposed doesn’t motivate you up to be better than your not the right goalie for the franchise anyways.
PROTECT THE GOOSE.
2nd year appears to be one-way.
2 years.
