Description

This become somewhat of a hot topic today based on some speculation report, which is now being pushed out by Adrian Dater and as soon as he is pushing it and no one else from the Avs beat, its 9 times out of 10 full of crap

But the Murray to the Avs at the deadline talk, this is the only scenario that makes any sort of marginal sense of why the Avs would look at it

They can lock up Murray probably for Cheaper and who is younger for a couple extra years taking him to UFA as an RFA while they wait for Annenun

Pens get statically the better goalie this year but who is a pending UFA after next season but would be cheaper than extending Murray while they open up cap space to keep Jarry

Other than that, there is no draw of why the 2 teams would do business for Murray outside of a keep cap hits down during their competitive windows
