No thanks no need for McCann they have so many similar level players already. They'll be able to get a goalie for alot cheaper come expansion time. Plus they have Hogberg, Nilson on one ways and have a few goalies knocking they likely want to see what they have. If they dont like it they'll make a move next summer for a goalie.
Sens likely use 22nd overall plus a few seconds to move up to the top 12 in the draft id imagine.

Ottawa has a ton of goalies in the system. We don't want any more, especially the way Murray has been trending.

You can get more value by trading McCann and Murray individually over packaging them together.

Sens don't have a need for McCann, and personally I'd probably wait it out to spend less on a goaltender. That being said, there's nothing wrong with the value of #22 + Lajoie for Murray + ?. In a normal year it's something I might pull the trigger on, but given the Senators position and the flat cap I think there are smarter deals to be made.
Would you trade a 1st round pick for a goalie who just got bounced by a 14th seed? An easy no imo.

Murray from 2-3 years ago, yes. Current Murray, hell no.
Goalies are voodoo. No way of knowing if he'll ever bounce back and become a legit starter in the future.
Murray let in 1 soft goal all series. The penguins played with absolutely no energy and did nothing to help him out. It was an embarrassing team effort to be frank.
Murray at his age and pedigree should still hold plenty of value around the league. A 1st round pick in the back half of the draft for him would be a good deal for both clubs.
Disagree. The right team would give us a nice return.
Edmonton for example has a glaring need for both of those players. I would be interested in hearing their best offer for the 2 combined

I have no interest in moving a 1st for a goalie/Murray. Much rather draft a young cost controlled asset.
Plus Murray needs a new contract and we'd be paying him based off his past success with a powerhouse team, no thanks.
He has such a strong start to his NHL career. I think a new start/setting could be good for him. Dont think the cost is astronomical either.
If you are looking for a goalie - don't think he's a bad choice to take a chance on. Upside could be huge

We're not looking for a goalie.
And if you look league-wide at goalie trends the past decade...the odds of a goalie reverting to the success at the start of his career is slim.
You lost me at the first word, in bold. Maybe you're not looking for a goalie yourself - but many, many Sen fans seem to be looking for one.
I hear about what you're saying about it being a risk, and maybe he does or maybe he doesn't recapture his magic. For a team that were looking for a goalie - I think Murray is the type worth taking a risk on is all

Id take a chance on Murray but not for the NYI 1st.
No need for McCann. So if ya wanna tall bout Murray for one of our 2nds I think thats the more realistic convo from Ottawa's POV

I still think Murray for Connor Brown makes a lot of sense 
I'd also throw out Murray for Logan Brown if the Penguins end up trading McCann this off-season. Brown may make sense as a target for the Penguins then. I wouldn't be happy about it, but maybe Murray for White?

No. There will always be a few people wanting a goalie. We could have jesus in net and the same crowd will be looking for a netminder.
If anything, we have too many netminders in the system right now.
Right now, I think you might get Toronto to make a panic move and give you something good for Murray.

I'm a Sens fan, and I'm not looking for a goalie.
Murray will cost a few bucks and I'm not eager to throw our limited funds at a netminder when we're still a few years away from contending regularly for the playoffs anyway.
Brown yes but why would the Penguins want centres?I still think Murray for Connor Brown makes a lot of sense

Logan Brown may be available depending on the draft and how camp goes. They will hold on to him for now though.
If I was Ottawa the most I'd offer is a high 2nd and maybe a b prospect for Murray.
If Pittsburgh doesn't do it that's cool because Murray isn't a lock to perform well anyways and Pittsburgh needs the cap space and to move a goalie anyways and Ottawa isn't competing next year.
No reason for Dorion not to hold the hammer here.
