I think the Jackets would strongly prefer to steer a course in between rentals and selling off for picks.
Agreed. But needing a rental means the goalie thing worked out this year and we are a playoff team looking to make a run. So it basically would turn into Murray for RNH or some other good rental (+/- other pieces).
I think Murray is a player that is nice to have on the Jackets, but we have plenty of D and could easily offset his loss. I do not think he brings back a good enough forward as the main piece of a trade, so I would prefer to have picks/prospects to whatever mediocre forward he would return. If we trade a couple of D and get Pysyk back that opens up a spot for Peake next year and also means we don’t need to rush him this year.
