Seattle select Matt Murray ! So give up Lehky for 1 year of Murray ? Not happening but nice ( offersheet/trades )

whoever montreal acquired as a backup is at risk for seattle unless its one of those meh backups like kinkaid.

Murray won’t sign that offer sheet, he will at leadt be making the same salary that he was making last deal with the increase of salary that rfa are supposed to get.

If you can find a way to get Jankowski for less then is qualifying offer i will be impressed

Crawford Greiss are UFA

i dont see either leaving their teams greiss maybe the most likely of the 2 but chicago probs signs crawford on a 1 year deal

Columbus probably accepts... but the prospect is a waste of a trade... he’s an UFA on June 1st and wouldn’t be part of any trade due to the draft being after June 1st. So you might as well just offersheet Anderson...

Crawford could go home and get a 4M 1-2 year contract

show me this rule ?

i'll show you the decline in his play the breakout performances of Jarry and Desmith.
TBH of the 3 i want Murray the least of all but he's the only one PIT fans want gone period .
i trade for Jarry its a no , i trade for Desmith they want NHL Regular return for an AHL Call Up

What Murray did was ride MAF coat tailed and failed every year since he left.
lucky for us Price is on MAF level more or less which create's a chance for MTL to get a Back up who can play
If he doesnt pan out it doesnt matter because Seattle is likely to take him regardless as he's still a decent back up for whats left.

why do you think Murray deserves so much?
Last post i payed him 4.2m and while every single other person said the was overpaid you were insisting he'll get more ?
He's failed to take the starting position , PIT gave up their 3 time SC winning Goalie and havent made a Final since for choosing Murray.

It would be like if we traded Price to STL and Kept Halak
We'd regret it and see him as a constant reminder of what we gave up for a goalie who is barely top 20 in the NHL when he's playing his absolute best at his career highs

i'd get it if we were talking about a goalie who struggled a little but played good overall
but were talking about a guy who had the keys to the kingdom and played really poor hockey compared to his mentor before him
Insult to injury is that MAF has been to the Finals since while Murray shows he can handle the workload of being starter

Noooooo , reallly?

..... Kind of the Whole F'n Point

And what does it cost us again ?

A Player we will NOT Protect in Lehkonen
A Player a per MB only 1/4 prospects including Mcshane will be with us after July 1st when they need to be qualified(Hillis is the 1/4 i have no doubt)
A 3rd round pick (wow thats a lot right ?)

Or a 2nd round pick and we keep Lehkonen and Murray who will likely be chosen in the expansion
We get to protect Fleury ,Mete and Evans by proxy who were not on the protected list

If we lose Murray in either scenario the price we pay is worth it to keep Mete alone

name the last time a UFA in Net worth a crap signed here
It never happens as MTL always brings on guys in deals like Thibault,Auld,Absicher,or Hackett then re-signs
Undrafted we found Plante , in a trade for used parts we got Dryden because he wanted 4 years for NCAA and BOS said no, we even got Roy by trading Robert Pickard to WPG

UFA's will never be the solution for MTL and Goaltending
Everytime we went that route we had horrible seasons

This is the rule so basically Pittsburgh just have to deposit a qualify offer and he will have right to arbitration who he will make at least the same amount he was making. That have nothing to donwith is average play or recent performance this is just cba rules

Forwards : Domi Drouin Kotkaniemi Lehkonen Byron Evans Gallagher Def : Weber Fleury Mete G : Price UFA who doesn’t need to be protect : Petry Danault Tatar Armia Players available for Seattle : Chiarot Juulsen Kulak Vejdemo ( so probably Chiarot )
