Speculation: What does the future hold for Matt Murray?

Yeah. Trade board is toilet filled with explosive diarrhea.

Nothing lots of cheese can't fix.

I wouldn't be too stoked with landing Larsson, tbh. He's not horrible, but he's not exactly a great skater and I don't think he'd be more than a bottom pairing guy here. We need offensive blueliners first and foremost.

But, for the 14th OA, maaaaan... Especially if we pull the deal off before the draft, we could either keep the pick and land a stud prospect for a barren prospect cupboard, or we could flip that 14th OA for something significant to help now and moving forward, as it's a more universally accepted currency than an RFA goalie.

If we got 14th OA I'd go big on acquiring a 2LD.

Same. A stud 2LD who can bring offense and grow/gel with Marino with the idea of those two taking over top pairing duties in another year--that's the dream.

I’m lactose intolerant, cheese will just make it a guarantee it ends that way on the toilet.

Now who would be avail? seems most Dmen that are looked at are RD vs LD.

Not a clue.

Not a clue.

Spitballing...Brodin although they seem to want a center, Hanifin but no idea what they are looking for, Lindholm no clue what Ducks looking for, perhaps go older with Ekholm.

I think you can argue this is technically 1 fewer option for Murray, but I'd argue the alternate: this is one fewer option for starting goalies for a team that wants to win now. I don't think Crawford is what he once was, but he had a .917 save% this year and has 2 cups. He seemed like a great target for a team like Edmonton.

I don't know if the same teams would be in the market for Murray as would be for Crawford. To me, Murray is a long term solution for a team, and a team will treat the trade as such. Crawford is a year by year thing.

i think there maybe a better choice at center at 14oa imo

New thread needed or we would need to move this to the cap thread
