Just pray that he's not a flash in the pan.

Bye Murray.

Agreed.
And while I think it's the right move, I'm surprised more aren't concerned about this with how common it is for goalies to drop off.

Like Murray did? We can’t afford a higher paid goalie who may or may not play better. So it is what it is.

Seems like the right move as you said and a fairly safe bet IMO.

If it’s not working send him to Edmonton that’s where he lives in the off season.

Solid deal.

[HandshakeLine]

Pretty square deal there.

 

[ncm7772]

Thanks for everything, Murr. Many of us will miss you and wish you the best.

Incidentally, it's going to be hilarious when they trade Letang for MAF and roll 4 goalies this year going forward.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I can't say I dislike the deal. Solid. I just hope he can continue to play at a high level. Goaltenders are f***ing weird and he hasn't exactly played a ton of NHL games.

 

[EightyOne]

....kinda speaks volumes

Why stop with 4? The Penguins 2020/21 roster

Everyone is all like "bye Murray" but watch JR not like the offers he's getting for Murray, do some absolute mad lad shit to clear space and sign him to kick the can down the road until he can get his mythical "haul."

Please stop thinking you can pawn off crappy players to other teams. We’ve pissed away too many assets and time to fixing bad trades/signings.

(I’m not saying Jarry is crappy, but if he fails, he won’t have the resume like Murray and will be harder to move)

 

[Jobeycool]

Well we need to be playing some really solid defense or we are toast it would seem like to me....

Look, if it forces them to move JJ they can have all 3 goalies in the NHL and I’ll hold my tongue.*

"Everyone to LTIR, and we sign enough goalies to fit in the net (rotating them every 5 minutes to keep them fresh!), thus preventing anyone from ever scoring and then we pull them all and put Crosby out in the last 15 seconds for an empty net!"

No. As long as it’s not a bad contract players are generally easy to move. Especially if they are younger.

Can’t see Jarry playing awful though. He’s got some of that Fleury athleticism and some of that Murray calmness. If he’s deemed not good enough it’s more likely the skaters are shittin’ the bed.

Alternately: "Show me where it says you can't ice a thoroughbred charger in the rule book, ref!"

"Look it worked when we had Scuderi!"

What happens when the goalies go on LTIR?

Was expecting 3M/yr, but this is still pretty good.

See ya MM.
