2022 2nd and Nygard for Murray? How does that even remotely help Pittsburgh?

And then you turn around and say Koskinen is worth a 2020 3rd -- which I consider a more valuable asset than anything going to Pittsburgh there

Pittsburgh is listening but you’re not there yet.

Either a first or a 2nd and a legit prospect instead of nygard should get you there

I think that's because Koskinen is a better NHL goalie than Murray

Wasn’t sure but Koskinen has clearly been more successful, especially in the playoffs. It’s a wonder why any Edmonton fan would put him in a trade

You seriously think a 31 year old with a career 909 and 97 games under his belt is more valuable than a 25 year old with a career 915 and 117 games and 2 cups under his belt

This website is in for a rude, rude awakening next season when Matt regresses back up to his average

Playoff wins = team stats
SV% = goalie stat

Murray will only get you more playoff wins if he comes with Crosby, Malkin, and Letang. And I don't recall Murray playing too well against the Habs either.

again, cups = team stat
Murray was lucky enough to be playing under a great team. That team didn't do as well this season, so his numbers went down
Koskinen's numbers were down last season because his team stank. They got a little better, so his numbers have also gone up

And Howard was ECHL tier this year

I don't think Winnipeg would move Laine if the main piece coming back is a rental.

Kostkinen is not more valuable or better than Murray. 31 year old vs 25 year old. Murray’s played more NHL games and has a better career average in the NHL.

Mikko did a great job in the KHL but that doesn’t make up the gap in value

Cups being a team stat doesn’t negate the rest of what’s in there. Murray has outperformed Mikko through their NHL careers, by a significant amount.

I’m not even sure Howard is ECHL level lol he’s so bad

Koskinen has a higher GSAx but agree to disagree I guess. We'll see next season.
That goalie tandem still doesn't solve things though. We're right back where we were last season. An average goalie and a **** goalie sharing games.

Columbus isn't accepting Russell when we've already got a 10-deep pool of defensemen. Thinks for thanking of us, though.

Trying to think of a good goalie who could come cheap for one year until EDM finds a legit backup that’s not close to retiring. Howard could have a huge bounce back year but tough to tell. He’d come very cheap and has a lot of experience.

Murray has a career .921 in the playoffs, how’s that for a goalie stat. He wasn’t their problem against Montreal
