So, here's an idea.
Matt Murray for Jack Campbell.
The Leafs haven't had a trustworthy back-up goaltender to Frederik Andersen since... Curtis McElhinney, of all people, left town. The dude's consistently played in >70% of the team's games since he got there, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's started to wear on him. They need a competent back-up to be able to fill in for games where Andersen can't play. Jack Campbell <em>might</em> be it, but I don't think anybody's that sold on the idea.
The Penguins are cutting salary and generally can't afford to pay both Murray and Tristan Jarry what they're worth. Sure, Murray's had a bad couple of seasons, but he also won 2 Stanley Cups as a rookie, and we saw the kind of leverage that got Cam Ward throughout his career in contract negotiations. The Penguins don't really have that kind of money to toss around at the moment. The consensus seems to be that everyone thinks Murray is the one leaving town at the moment, so the next question is, of course, where does he land?
Now, why would the Penguins want Jack Campbell (outside of the obvious "there's only room for 2 goalies on a roster")? A fairly easy answer: cost certainty. He's signed for 2 more years, and it's all base salary with no bonuses. The Penguins don't have to spend time in RFA negotiations with Campbell like they would with Murray and Jarry, and he'll ultimately be cheaper than whatever money they'd have to pay Murray.
Why would the Leafs want Matt Murray? A not-so-obvious answer. He's been kinda bad for the last couple of seasons, as previously mentioned, and, by bad, I mean <em>bad</em>.
But! He's clearly been good before, good enough to win 2 Stanley Cups (and also AHL Rookie of the Year, Goalie of the Year, as well as breaking the AHL shutout streak record).
And, of course, where did Matt Murray play junior hockey? With the Sault. Ste. Marie (now just Soo) Greyhounds. From 2011 to 2014. When Kyle Dubas and Sheldon Keefe were, respectively, the GM and head coach of the Greyhounds.
If there's anybody that knows Murray well enough to maybe help him get back to how good he used to be as a goaltender, it's Dubas and Keefe. And they might know something that we don't, enough for them to take a roll of the dice on it.

Should Jack Highes have gone to the NCAA
eh. I mean, the Devils had a lot of issues. just 'cause you're the first overall pick doesn't mean you're automatically Connor McDavid and can haul the team onto your back and carry them out of mediocrity. hockey is, as they say, a team sport, and individual players have less of an impact than in other sports.
if anything, Hughes would've just torn up the NCAA in his freshman year, and we'd have all gone, "why'd he spend a year in the NCAA when he could have gone straight to the NHL?"

Top tier Russian free agents have a lot of negotiating power.
He clearly took less than what he could have if he played hardball. I dont think the Islanders let him walk for an extra million or 2 when he could be a franchise goalie. Plus they would want a strong relationship with him so he'd re-sign.</div></div>eh. both sides clearly had something they wanted; the Islanders needed a young goalie in his prime that could potentially be a goalie of the future, Sorokin wanted a shot at the NHL. the 1-year deal at $2M is, honestly, more likely than not because of this whole COVID-19 mess and the loss in HRR that the league's sustaining, which led to the flat salary cap in the new CBA. no team in the league is really in a position to hand out a ginormous contract at the moment.

That's why teams are afraid of drafting Russian players.

Pavel Francouz was a UFA and had established himself as one of the best goalies in the KHL, and he took a near-league-minimum contract and had to spend a year in the AHL. most GMs are pretty gun-shy about goaltending, especially for goalies that come from European leagues that don't utilize the same rink size.

It was hoping to give the non-play-in teams something to look forward to, to generate some buzz in their cities. But they never stopped to think what would happen in the play-in cities if what happened Friday night actually happened, which was very possible since the non-play-in teams had a 24.5 percent chance of winning the lottery, just a shade behind the Ottawa Senators at 25 percent (and we both knew the Sens weren’t going to win). So now, fans in Montreal, Chicago, Arizona, Minnesota and elsewhere are thinking the same thing: how the worst thing that could happen to their teams would be to win the play-in, an opportunity that they don’t even deserve. So, instead of generating buzz, the NHL has turned a bunch of fans against their own teams.</div>

5) the Original Six teams composed of the Leafs and the Canadiens (everybody would scream "rigged" for the Leafs, and mostly everybody would scream "rigged" for the Canadiens, but it'd be a nice story, and i'm not opposed to that)
4) the Original Six teams composed of the Rangers and Blackhawks (everybody would scream "rigged," and the "3 Cups in 6 years" Blackhawks haven't faded away to enough dust for people to not get angry)
3) the Penguins (everyone would definitely have an aneurysm if Crosby and Malkin got a bloody generational talent on an ELC to play on their wing)
2) 'Lottery Ball Specialist' Taylor Hall and his band of Merry Men (the Coyotes)

Arizona has had terrible attendance since they moved to Glendale and it's never changed. No one cares about the team there. It doesn't matter what sport is the most popular in the US. The team loses money year after year and it's just a matter of time before they leave. Same with the Panthers. Organizations that lose money year after year just won't survive.</div></div>what part of "past ownership issues also do not auto-translate to the current ownership situation" did you not get? just because the team hasn't historically done well doesn't mean they can't change with new ownership that's committed to making the team successful. how is that not a concept that crossed your brain? *le gasp*
and, <em>again</em>, attendance is not a single factor that you can point to in "is a team doing well." it, itself, is a product of several different variables. the Bill Wirtz-era Blackhawks had <em>terrible</em> attendance issues, and we didn't call for their heads and re-location (because they're an Original Six market and no traditionalist would ever call for that). their attendance was bad for <em>a number</em> of reasons. we didn't just look at the bad attendance numbers and go, "oh, well, nobody cares about hockey in Chicago." because it's a dumb chain of logic.
see what i mean about "it looks like you're basically just glossing over every single point i make"? do i necessarily believe that you inherently can't construct a good argument? no. but, from what you've demonstrated so far, it sure looks that way. your entire argument is basically pointing to "nobody in the Sun Belt likes hockey, so why should any team be located there?" but, if there have historically never been hockey teams there, of course there wouldn't be a basis for anybody liking hockey. people don't start liking a sport out of thin air. you don't just snap your fingers, and, suddenly, people like hockey.

past ownership issues also do not auto-translate to the current ownership situation. as i noted previously, Alex Meruelo is now the majority owner of the Coyotes, and he is actually a billionaire and (based on reporting from The Athletic) appears to be the kind of person that commits to his owned assets and doesn't just casually toss them aside at the first sign of trouble. of course, you appear to have completely blown by that fact and insisted on re-iterating your original assertion, as if merely repeating it would give it any more validity.

- the Jets don't have to compete with another team in the same province; the Nordiques did and would. and, again, they would just siphon gate revenue away from the Canadiens (and they wouldn't do it well, either; the Canadiens are Québec's team). it would turn into a zero-sum game.
- they wouldn't get more money from a TV deal in the Québec City area compared to the oodles of money they'd get from Phoenix (the weak Canadian dollar, for one, would depress how much money that would actually translate to). TV deals are a big part of how a sports league makes money (look at how the NBA's salary cap jumped by $20 million after their new deal with ESPN, and NBA teams were paying <em>bench players</em> $10 million because they didn't know what to do with all that cap room). again, what does the league care about? moniezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Québec City doesn't give them nearly as much money as Phoenix would.
- it wouldn't generate any new fans. the league is stupid and short-sighted with its financial gains sometimes, but they at least did one thing right in expanding to new areas to get new fans interested and actually grow the game. why do you think every sports league and their mother is trying to break into China? because nobody else is there right now, and it's the 2nd-most-populated country in the world. it's an un-tapped gold mine of revenue. the Sun Belt was that way for the NHL, and they took advantage of it.
it's amazing that people think that re-location is actually a first option the NHL considers and not a last-ditch option when every other option has fallen through. the Thrashers left because ownership actually did not care in the least about the Thrashers and only cared about how well the Hawks were doing. the ownership situation with the Coyotes has actually stabilized, if you maybe hadn't noticed (which, clearly, you didn't). it's not anywhere close to being bad enough for the league to consider re-location at the moment.

i mean, there's also the fact that Alex Meruelo is a billionaire, and he just hired the first Hispanic president and CEO of an NHL team, and, in general, he seems pretty committed to getting the Hispanic hockey community in Phoenix interested in the Coyotes.
but semantics, amirite
who needs to take the time to do research instead of just spouting lazy talking points and calling it a day
