Description

NJ needs a #1 NHL starting goalie and Ray Shero drafted Matt Murray and he's won TWO Stanley Cups and he's ONLY 25 years old. Taylor Hall is an UFA at the end of the season and he wants to go to a contender and the Pens want another HIGH End LW to play with Crosby since Guentzel has revitalized Malkin's game. The Andy Greene part of the deal is because he is a Leader on and off the ice, plays like Sullivan wants and blocks pucks, Kills penalties (lots) and is a veteran. He is a UFA as well but NJ knows that he needs a chance at the Cup. Trading out Jack Johnson gives NJ another veteran player who's locked into a moderate but cheap deal for only a few seasons as their youngsters mature. Landing Galchenyuk is HUGE for the Devils because they need a scoring winger who is young and he fits the bill. This is a terrific deal for both teams and it just makes sense. The 4th round pick is because Pittsburgh is helping out NJ to land a #1 Goalie.

I find I hard to believe that New Jersey would trade Hall without getting a first-round pick in return. Look what Kevin Hayes brought.

Yes but TRADING has changed over these past two seasons and first round draft picks are huge to keep and THEY ARE GETTING MATT MURRAY in this deal! A bonafide Number one Proven NHL goalie.

You're funny AND you don't realize that NJ lost Another One of the Bad goalies to an injury. THEY NEED a young Proven NHL goalie going forward and Murray is their best option.
