<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bolts_Fan_Dan</b></div><div>I just don’t see going after a guy complaining about playing Third line winger minutes instead of top 6 center minutes being happy with 4th line winger minutes I sense some really bad ju ju on this idea</div></div>

This is exactly it. Nor is he gonna be happy with the league min deal he should get, because anything over what they paid ZAR is an overpayment. The guy played his own way down the ladder.

Whinny Whitney was here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marino4Norris</b></div><div>Sceviour is a legitimate upgrade over guys like Appleton, Lewis, Thompson getting minutes in the Jets bottom 6 so no idea where the waiver wire comment comes from

An equally skilled defenseman would be someone like Riikola, who I mentioned before. Winger that can't crack the top 6 for defenseman that can't crack the top 4</div></div>

This is really the exact value here.
He's not worth nearly what WPG fans want to get for him. It's total over valuation. He didn't get C minutes in WPG because he couldn't play it at the NHL level. He worked his way down the depth chart as he didn't do anything with the 15 minutes of ice time they gave him at even strength every night.

I'm not even a fan of bringing this guy in. We've seen this act over and over before. JR brings in a circus of reclamation projects hoping to find gold but doesn't. That same act has killed the defense.
We already got 3 of them on this team in Matheson, Jankowski and Ceci. We don't really need another. The more dead weight a boat has to carry eventually there is enough weight that sinks the ship.

Jack Johnson isn’t really a player that the pens should have to throw in a ridiculous sweetener. His contract isn’t really that bad. His buyout isn’t that bad. His play on the ice is really the only thing bad. But with teams losing money and setting internal caps for their teams and wanting players that are making less than there actual cap hits, Jack Johnson is one of those players. Not saying I think the pens would get any return or even trade him, but he isn’t un-moveable. I could see a draft day trade for Murray. Or once some of the free agents sign. But the market isn’t exactly flooded with top tier talent. Now that Lehner is signed, Murray might actually be the most intriguing goalie left in the market. Holtby has been on the decline the last three years posting worse stats than Murray and coming to the end of his prime. Can Talbot is older and always been pretty inconsistent. Calgary would have just re-signed him right away rather than inquiring about Murray if Talbot was better. Mike Smith is...well Mike Smith. Corey Crawford is like 80 years old. I think the hawks will re-sign him anyway. Howard is nearing retirement. Doubt a team looks at him as a starter. Miller won’t go anywhere that is rebuilding or far from the west coast. Kinda limits the options for teams like Detroit, Ottawa, buffalo, etc. Korpisalo/Merzlikins would be the only ones I could think of being better options than Murray but likely have a much higher cost.
