Ottawa gets a fairly young starter for the future. Pitt gets a pick, cap space and a decent prospect. Win-win situation right now but we'll see what Murray signs for
This is really good for Ottawa, a starter to take over for Nilsson’s injuries and he has so much potential to help jumpstart this coming year. This could be huge going forward for this team and these kids seeing some wins if Murray picks up his game
2nd round pick for a playoff goalie. Murray was never a good regular season goalie and that's what Ottawa needed. Hopefully they have a good backup in case Murray falls flat on his face
Maybe PIT could've gotten more if they didn't publicize this move so much
You got a point here. It's a terrible idea when a GM shows he needs so badly to trade a player, specially when the market is so tight because of many options in FA. It's not a bad trade for Pens. It's fair enough. But it could be better, if JR were smarter than he is.

I don't think JR did much to publicize this more than the fact that every team couldn't protect 2 goalies in the expansion draft. That's a conversation that's been happening since the Seattle franchise was announced. Regardless, it definitely was another factor driving Murray's value down.
