The 50th best goalie this past season sign me up!

 

[Mrfenn92]

I really hope not

 

[Styles]

I’d be all for it depending what he wants on his next contract. I’m sure a lot of people here will not want him because all they did was look at his numbers from last year. He’s still only 26 years old and has proven he can be a number 1. A change of scenery might be good for him.

He was in the 50s in every major stat on a "good" defensive team. Murray in this system would be a diaster waiting to happen. He hasnt been the same since 2017 tbh

I wouldn’t give up more than a 3rd for him if things go south with Crawford negotiations and even then he wouldn’t be my first choice of who is on the market. He needs a very solid backup due to injury concerns on top of his poor play. 2/3 of his last few years were poor.

$3M+ on finding lightning in a bottle again? No thanks.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

So are we now going to give up assets and cap space for a goalie on what will likely be a losing team?

Awesome!

Are they going to be losing forever? I could see your aguement if we were trading for a 1 year UFA goalie.

Is he still a long term answer? If so, I guess it makes more sense.

 

[ClydeLee]

I'm interested if it's coming with value absolutely.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Any real source on this?

Garrioch is Eklund level when it comes to anything outside of Sens

Also Murray makes no sense for a variety of reasons

1) He would cost asset/assets to bring in ,, That would be mistake #1
2) He requires a new contract that will be overpayment and nearly impossible for Hawks to fit under cap ,, That would be mistake #2
3) He is downgrade from Crawford ,, Acquiring Murray to be #1 would be mistake #3

It really depends. We have no idea what the ask is for Murray, and we have no idea what his extension will look like. It's Stan's job to look into these things. Whether he makes the trade or not, I don't know, but he should be checking these things.

If Murray doesn't cost much to acquire, I'm ok with it. He's a potential long-term solution if he turns it around.

It's possible. It's not like Pittsburgh has a lot of leverage here. Cap crunch, good goalie UFA market, and they've shown their hand by re-signing Jarry.

 

[Giovi]

His stock is falling and he can't stay healthy.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Wonder if Pens would take Maatta back in a deal...Not that we want to get rid of Maatta but a swap would net out some of the cap implications

 

[hawksrule]

No, unless they're taking back an equivalent amount or more of dead salary.

 

[Malaka]

Not a good goaltender

 

[echlfreak]

At 26 years old he has decent experience in the league. Just a hair more than Delia and Lankinen who are the same age.

if it’s a pick and a prospect I’d be fine with it.

 

[TheDachKnight]

For a 3rd or a 3rd and an alright prospect (not anyone with top-6/top-4 potential), sure. Anything more than that, I’ll pass.

 

[echlfreak]

What about Lankinen and our first for Merzlikins? Columbus is supposedly shopping both of their goalies per tsn.ca

 

[TLEH]

Seems like a typical Bowman move. Our pro scouts suck.

 

[echlfreak]

Didn’t the pro scouts find Panarin, Suter, Ruuta, Kempny, Delia, Lankinen???
