<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jgimp69</b></div><div>I’m not saying that he isn’t a good player, I’m saying that he’s not worth giving up a 22 yr old potential 50 goal a year scorer for. All peg fans see (and no offence to your offer) is hot garbage of aging, declining or 4 quarters for a dollar trades from Montreal fans. I’ve said all along that if Montreal wants Laine, I would want one of your untouchables because like I said, giving up a player on Laine’s scoring ability and potential should net you more than the players that most Montreal fans offer. I’m not expecting a kings ransom for Laine, all I want is a young, quality, cost controlled piece back.</div></div>

If it’s not what you want then that’s fine but Your assessment of players is off. Reject it if you want but this offer is not nearly as bad as you’re playing it off to be. Habs fans are trying to base trades on your team needs of another top 6 centre and holes in your D. This trade gives you an extended Domi who is young and has a 70 point season on a mediocre Habs team. Petry is a very solid D even if he is in this 30’s....Juulsen has top 4 potential and could be as good or better than Chiarot and this years first is going to be a good young piece.

Is Winnipeg rebuilding or trying to win?? This type of trade checks off the boxes in terms of what you’re missing and includes a mid first round pick in a deep draft. Oh and let’s not forget about the cap dump we’re taking on, that has some value too.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jgimp69</b></div><div>I highly doubt he will keep this pace for 3 years. If you think it’s a good choice to take on a 32 year old player player for a young player like Laine maybe we could swing a deal like Wheeler for Suzuki as a base. After all, Wheeers still effective and has gotten better over the last few years, I’m sure your response will be the same as mine.
Any other aging players you want the Jets to take for our young superstars??</div></div>

Alright cranky pants all I’m saying is Petry absolutely hasn’t declined or showed any signs of declining. That’s the only comment I made so I don’t know what the other **** your talking about has to do with me saying Petry isn’t declining. Chara is still a legit D and he’s 43 why the hell couldnt Petry make it to 36???

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikearky</b></div><div>While I agree, most trades that involve Wings lately are either Mantha for Domi and either Mete, a 2nd round pick or my favorite Mete and two 2nds. The Canucks fans want to dump.Ericksson on Wings with alot of prospects that are not top 5. At one time it was Ericksson, Demko and a 2nd, it has devolved to Ericksson, Depietro, and swapping 3rds.

I understand most fan bases overevaluate their own players but it is becoming clear that people believe on this site, Wings have cap, so they will eat our bad contracts, because they are bad. To add the the injury they want something of value bad. Murray is a NHL goalie, he has won two cups, but for the last 2 years he has been average at best, Pens have goalie in waiting in Jarry and they need to clear a goalie, due to expansion, clear cap to field a team and they are trying to exact something when they are dealing from a weak position .</div></div>

I’m not sure I would say they’re dealing from a weak position. Teams like Edmonton, Calgary and anyone else who’s goalie situation isn’t ideal should be looking at Murray. Your avenue of having cap space and ability to help them out is a good option but the goalie struggling teams may be willing to give up a valuable piece to Pittsburgh if it gave them goaltending confidence for the playoffs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>It has a lot more to do with Murray being an average goalie in the regular season. His GAA and SV% since he came into the league both rank in the mid 30s. You also have to consider that Pittsburgh have exited in the playoffs in the first round the past 2 seasons with Murray in net.</div></div>

Murray isn’t as old as I thought he was, you’re assessment isn’t wrong but with where this team is at presently he may be a decent option. I’d still try annd draft Askarov and Murray could be a good starter until Askarov was ready just when this team is done the rebuild. Murray then comes a solid backup option who can take over if Askarov struggles. Regardless I wouldn’t give up a player like Veleno in order to get Murray.
