All 5 are wrong. There is zero chance the Penguins are keeping MAF over Murray, Murray is going to be the best goalie in the league in 2-3 years. As soon as Murray is ready to go MAF is back on the bench even now. No one wants Yak and LV is not wasting a pick on him.

Murray already has a cup in his coffers. There's no way he isn't the goalie for the Pens. THe only reason Fleury is even in net right now is because Murray got hurt.

The whole process is unfair to the whole league... It's all about money and making an expansion franchise immediately financially viable. Bettman wants a brand new team to have immediate parity with the rest of the league.

Granted the Wild were an expansion team, they didn't get the caliber players the Knights are going to get right off the bat.

Huh

Hey owners well give you a boat load of money for one guy on the bottom of your roster. What do you say?

Looking at the playoffs and how quickly young talent is coming of age on TOR and EDM, Golden Knights realize expansion players are stop gap to the talent they will get in the drafts to make them solid in just a few years. Like NFL, the development upcurve is quick on draftees as they push out the older fragile players who lose countless games out of lineup due to injuries or in lineup playing at 75%. If I were Vegas, I would pick the workhorses to fill the roster as fillers for the future talent. Only Snow goes for the concussed and fragile.

I don't care for MAF no matter how nice a guy he is. However, here is the key to the Penguins going forward. I know the organization likes him, they have Jarry doing very well in WBS. If they think Jarry could be the GUY down the road....Murray could be dealt in a trade and should get a King's ransom. The key is TRISTAN JARRY

I'll go one step further for you Ek. Not only will Yak be available, Vegas won't take him.

Remember the Eklund had the Leafs "projected" to finish 10th in the East in the first week of April?

Winnipeg probably protects 4 D. Unless they really want to loser Myers. Same goes for Anaheim.

If I were a team's GM I would trade the Buzztron 9000 for all 5 of these players. But you'd have to throw in a McDavid because the Buzztron is worth way more than these 5 players alone.

I'd only take anything Vegas as gospel if it comes from StreitToThePoint. Everyone else is fake news.

Zucker is likely left unprotected, but so are Brodin and Scandella.

The Buzztron is saying Crosby might headed to Vegas and Malkin could be going to Chicago.

Remember when Augello said that it would be better for the Leafs to miss the playoffs than get steamrolled by the Caps?

Hearing the B's don't want to lose Subban, so will make Rask available for trade and sign a free agent goalie to bridge the gap.
I think teams view Rask as a better goalie than Fleury.
The Pens will have a tough sell...they need sell teams that Fleury is the best option for them, between all the free agent and available through trade goalies.
I say they buy him out.

Rumor has it that the Pens have worked out a deal for Vegas to acquire Fleury (not sure how). Either ED or trade, Fleury would have to waive his NTC, which apparently he is willing to do.
