Great discussion points! I think the fact that there is this much back and forth leads me to believe that these two players have enough value and could provide benefit to either team.

There is no benefit for the penguins to do this, at all.

You want them to trade an NHL capable backup for an AHL level back up goalie. They aren't doing that. There is no benefit for them to do this, at all.</div></div>

DeSmith was in the Farm for Pitt too. This trade will save Pitt $500k and if they do trade Murray (As rumored) then they could receive a attain a very good D or F of similar caliber. That $500k goes a long way in Pitt.
