Nice, absolutely worth every penny.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Yep. I'd hoped for 3.5 but the Cup was always gonna bump it up some.
And for people wondering, there is no-no movement clauses cause Murz isn't old enough to recieve one yet.

[Dying Alive]

Love. It.

 

[End of Line]

Fantastic deal. Fleury pretty much know's now this is the end of the road for him.

 

[hagelin1381]

Anxious to see how this goalie situation will all shake out. Nevertheless, good AAV, solid deal

 

[UnrealMachine]

Excellent! And to quote myself from a month or ago:

Got a comparable 2nd (goalie) contract you'd like to share?

^ that was in response to someone saying Murray was going to command a $6M or $7M AAV 2nd contract. Only off by 100% or so...

 

[Jacob]

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I've missed this.

 

[Shrimper]

Superb deal.

 

[SprootsMasterFlex]

What an amazing start to my day. Very proud to see us lock him up. No doubt, GMJR will have to unload Fleury by the start of next season. No way can we allocate 10m to the current goalie tandem next year.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

As a Penguins fan AND someone who owns Murray in a capped keeper league, I am beyond happy.

Great deal. Now, we have to make sure we get rid of Fleury before LV are the ones taking advantage of that glorious contract.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Excellent.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Fantastic deal!!! Great job JR

 

[Empoleon8771]

I absolutely love it. Basically the same exact contract as Vasilevskiy, which is extremely fair IMO.

Another positive of this contract: Murray is still a RFA after the contract is done, so he's not going anywhere.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Great deal for Las Vegas!

 

[Tender Rip]

Happy it signals the Pens' desire (doing it so early), but it doesn't seem to change our predicament. Ball is still in Fleury's - and the market's - court.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

great news. makes a MAF buyout, if it comes to that, work with that cap perfectly. Not sure why some thought he was getting 6M??

 

[ColePens]

This is the best news because it's a commitment, IMO.

 

[PensandCaps]

crazy fleuury fans are freaking.

 

[PensandCaps]

do the 3 yrs start now?

 

[Jacob]

do the 3 yrs start now?

Next year.

 

[molon labe]

This is the best news because it's a commitment, IMO.

One would hope.


3 accidents on the way to work then this - way to begin the day

 

[Extra Texture]

Yeah baby. Things are lining up to make this change happen (when the time is right).

If MAF can continue his high level of play, and okays a trade to some TDL contenders, then we could be looking at a great return.

Great deal for Las Vegas!

They should thank us with some tickets to Cirque de soleil
