The best player taken in the 2012 draft was Murray.
Ryan Murray, the second overall pick? Obviously not.
Matt Murray in the 3rd round. Easily the best pick in that draft.

Galchenyuk/Filip Forsberg/Trouba are pretty exceptional talents.

Goalie is a harder position to fill at Murray’s talent level though. And it’s great value for a 3rd round pick.

Whether or not that’s true, Murray hasn’t done it long enough to really justify putting him above guys like Forsberg and Galchenyuk, who have 3+ full seasons under their belts. The NHL is littered with goalies who caught lightning in a bottle for short stretches and couldn’t sustain it long-term. Look what Budaj, who was left for dead in the AHL, has done this year. Could any random journeyman forward come up and produce like Forsberg/Galchenyuk? Not a chance.
Connorsoxfan
True. If Murray sustains his production, and the other guys produce similar numbers, I’d still take Murray with the 3rd rounder over the other guys though.

Ghost says hi as well. Should of won Calder last year.

Ha, the oilers model.

Nikita Kucherov went about 15 picks after Saad.
