confirmed

[Matthew]

who's that?

[lightupdadarkness]

wow that's insane

[Bruyns]

If he ends up the starter it's cheap. Guess Mike thinks it's a possibility if he's paying this.

[hong57]

yes if he turns starter is damn cheap.. if you don't know he is the top goalie in AHL this year as a rookie... stats is ridicous
i do not want to move murray.. i like his chances.. but this helps mike complete his system

[lightupdadarkness]

I know who he is and don't see Marc-André Fleury going anywhere but does let him sell his system as a whole now I believe

[bills09]

Price of goalies is getting out of control
based on this deal hellebuyuk is worth 4 1sts

How so? Murray had much better stats in the same league last year and is a year younger.

[bills09]

Hellebuyuk dominated the WC

Got his beer goggles on

Dominating a season matters more than a 8 game tourney to me. Still a great prospect but don't view him as worth that much more than Murray. WPG having a shitty starter is the main thing in his favour.

[lightupdadarkness]

Agree they are both good prospects regardless

Agree they are both solid but I much prefer Connor

[Handsome&FairMike]

Ya both CH and MM are solid. Really didn't want to pay that much for Murray. Not sure what pit is gonna do with its backup this year but I don't anticipate Murray coming up. However, if he does put in another season like this I could see fleury being moved in 2-3 years. His contract is pretty reasonable. And if he does come up, I've got my tandem for the year.

Overall still a lot to pay, but gives peace of mind on easily a top 5 system for the foreseeable future.

[The BBKL Insider]

murray was the best goalie not in the NHL last year. Fair price

[foofnik]

And people think I'm an asshole for not moving Kuemper for a 3rd.....

[Handsome&FairMike]

Ya man. Look at what enroth pulled in for maybe playing 30 games this upcoming season. 1st and a 3rd seems to be the going rate. Silliness.

[Arian The Insider]

Backups who weren't high end prospects shouldn't be worth more than a 2nd IMO, but I don't get to decide that lol

[Sensfanjosh]

I think it really depends if you're buying or selling, if you're selling a goalie you're a dick if you're buying everyone else is a dick
