Confirmed Signing with Link: [OTT] Matt Murray signs extension (4 years, $6.25M AAV)

[CupofOil]

Jesus Christ Ottawa.

So you don't want to sign Karlsson, Stone etc. etc. etc. but will blow your wad for .899 save pct. Murray?
He could very well bounce back but jeez.

 

[topshelf15]

Yeah we have nothing but kids everywhere,up front and on the backend ....Yet we blow this on a goalie ,yeah MM better be the second coming of Hasek here...Not very impressed

[JKG33]

Yikes. You'd think Dubas negotiated that one

 

[Gurglesons]

Yeah, this is why Penguins couldn't afford him.

 

[EpochLink]

Sweet Jesus, for Matt Murray?

I guess, Ottawa needs some stable goaltending

 

[Carltons Cup]

Melnyk is paying him with Monopoly money....

 

[Erep]

Heavy backend like they were saying players may transition to

And all of a sudden it makes sense...

Nearly every one of those goalies is twice the player.

 

[Richard88]

At least it's only 4 years.

 

[Drai Fi]

Markstrom’s agent is frothing right now

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Jesus

Dorian why?

 

[Extra Texture]

Well done, Muzz. Get that $$$$$. I'm just glad it wasnt us that gave it to him.

Hope he has success in Ottawa.

 

[crazyfisherman]

Now u chose not be cheap huh Eugene

 

[Pengu]

I'm happy the pens got rid. Not worth north of 5.....

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Too much money. should be 5 x 5

5 years is worst than giving him only 4. It’s the term that is important here. Woulda preferred it a tad under 6 but :shrug:

 

[Unspecified]

Well if opponents don't shoot glove side that is not a bad contact.

 

[AcerComputer]

Guy isn't worth more than $4M x 4 years

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Only 4 years. I’m ok with the cap hit.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Does Eugene know about this signing yet?

 

[23Monahan]

Heavy backend, can see him going to Seattle or being traded,

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

$6.25M ? whaaaat?

 

[Jee]

that's a lot of money for MM

 

[Patmac40]

Oh my god. What is the goalie market for Markstrom et. al like now?
