Matt Murray has a better statistical year than Andersen last year. Has only had one season with a save percentage of worse than .919 (Andersen has only had a save percentage higher than .919 once [.923]). Matt Murray has only had one year where his GAA was worse than 2.69, each of Andersen’s last 3 years were worse than that. But most leafs fans and pens haters will still try to say Andersen is better ? ☕️.
For my opinion on it is that the only way the pens do this is if you flip Gudbranson for JJ. Gudbranson is way overpaid but only for 2 more years. JJ is not as overpaid but the term is longer. And the cap hit isn’t as bad with JJ but the term is still the killer. As nice as the Johnsson would be in Pitt, I think our forwards are set. We actually have to trade one or two already. Not to mention that Gudbranson played well in Pitt and even as bad as he can be, he is still better than Trotman or Ruhwedel as third pair RHD.
