Murray is not getting you that package.

dzingel is meh, bean isn't expansion exempt, and a 2nd.

thats not what Pittsburgh is looking for if they were to trade Murray

If that's what it takes for Adin Hill just make that trade. There's a much better chance that Pitt doesn't give him a 2 mil QO then he gets traded.

Bjugstad is really not what NJ is looking for...

What are they looking for then? This trade fills multiple needs for the team and if you look at part 2 the expansion plan is in there (Bundle Horny with Legare to Seattle) and Hallander and Poulin take his and Dzingels spots on the third line. I don't see Murray being able to fetch a first of any value and he is going to demand to much in free agency for the pens anyway. So I'd say this is a pretty good package. A mid to late second rounder, a young D-man with top four potential, and Dzingel who is a very good third liner and just a rental and makes the cap hit exchange work.

I just don’t see pens trading Murray to a divisional team unless it’s an overpay. Trades like that can bite you in the butt years in the future.

Easy pass from Carolina. We can just sign a UFA goalie without giving up the assets
