Still confused on how a 6th round pick and Dalton Prout is more of a win than Quincey and Korpikoski. The jackets didn’t need to make any big moves, they’re an extremely young team. As Jarmo was saying, their window is just beginning to open, why be a huge buyer now? Wouldn’t make any sense to buy big or sell big this year, especially with an expansion draft forthcoming. The additions they made with Quincey is better than Prout is as a 7th or 8th dman, and Korpikoski is going to be a better depth forward than the options in Cleveland (minus Bjorkstrand, who is staying up with the team, and Milano, who likely isn’t nhl ready yet.)

This is exactly what I was thinking. Whoever wrote this doesn’t know the team situation and surely doesn’t know who prout is.

doesn’t make any sense to give up a lot for another center either. Wennberg keeps progressing and give Du Bois two years, this team is totally set with bjorkstrand being full time, and werenski + jones on the back end. Two years and the jackets will be a serious threat

Fleury is entering his golden years and was the teams best player with Mike Johnson at the helm for the first two months of last year. Not to mention Murray has a weak glove hand, and teams are starting to figure that out. Trade Murray in the off-season. Everyone is talking about how great Murray is, and I’m not convinced. I think he’s another Cam Ward for Jim Rutherford.

Murray is still in his early 20’s. For a goalie of his age he is excellent, Fleury himself wasn’t very good until his mid 20’s, Murray is the present and future of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Uhh didn’t Murray lead them to the cup last year? I could argue he was the playoff MVP over Crosby had he not missed some games. The whole idea that teams are just now figuring him out is laughable. That’s what scouting is for… teams have tape on him back to juniors. Fleury has done nothing in a post season since 2009 and was a disaster in his one start against Tampa last year. Murray will be the goalie for a long time and don’t forget he has room to grow just like Fleury had to do. Tristan Jarry will he the back up next season.

Murray won a total of 11 games last year. The only reason they made it to the playoffs at all was because Fleury held the team together when they sucked the first two months of the year. Murray is another Cam Ward. They rode the hot hand in the playoffs last year, I’m sorry, but two years down the road everyone is going to look back and say getting rid of Fleury was a mistake. I will give Murray credit insofar as he seems as if nothing gets to him, but winning 11 games hardly counts. Fleury isn’t to blame in the majority of post-seasons since 2009, anyone who watched those playoffs knows that. Also, playing in juniors and playing in the NHL are two completely different scenarios, there are plenty of instances of those succeeding in juniors and failing in the NHL, because the NHL players are far more talented. The league will push back, and they are figuring out Murray.

Matt Murray is so much better than Marc that it’s comical for anyone to type what you did.
And Marc is really good.

I agree the Rangers should have done more. However, seeing how they have been overmatched against bigger teams, limited in what they can do with the difficult contracts on defense, getting Smith to help improve the back end, not including Buchnevich in a deal with St Louis for Shattenkirk which is the rumored asking price and not making any other knee-jerk moves just to try and do something, I would call the Rangers deadline a wash. In the past the Rangers have been torched for moves mortgaging the future. The one year they don’t overpay or make any crazy moves… they lose. Can’t win.

How could’ve the Flyers got more from Tampa by just trading Streit to Pittsburgh themselves? I really dont understand that.
Im also ok with us not trading Del Zotto or Schultz.yes,we have prospects we could’ve called up,but we’re also 4 pts out of a playoff spot.keeping them around for the rest of the season can only be helpful.let the prospects continue to develop in Lehigh,and not have to worry about any chemistry issues by shuffling half the defense 61 games in.
