The 2013 CBA trade frenzy party thread

I think Murray is basically an Engo upgrade.

Am told the Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired Douglas Murray from the San Jose Sharks... trade call still pending

Am I good, or am I good? I'M GOOD!

Hey pix...you're good.

 

[pixburgher66]

And I agree, Boston pretty much HAS to make a move. The Pens have outmatched them in recent games. Bruins need scoring...big time.

 

[pixburgher66]

Morrow=Guerin; Murray=Gill. At least in my hopeful dreams.

I have to say that I would have no problem cheering for Iggy in a B's uniform (the mancave is filled with Bruins merchandise).

 

[pixburgher66]

Trade is for two 2nd rounders.

The problem is - playing the role of Marc-Andre Fleury is now Marc-Andre Fleury.

You haven't watched a Pens game lately have you...7 game W streak. Both goalies have played well. The D is strong, and apparently gotten stronger with a big guy, shutdown type, who blocks a lot of shots. Fleury has a shutout and let in 5 goals in his past 5.

lol - I have some Canucks merchandise as well (from their earlier days when the team had guys like Trevor Linden, Stan Smyl, and Greg Adams).

Just like last last season...

pretty accurate estimation from my vantage point

I would like to thank Shero and the Penguins for taking Murray.

The Sharks got two second round picks but the second pick is conditional if Murray doesn't re-sign with Pens.

That makes this a pretty good deal in my estimation.

 

[pixburgher66]

What I like about the Murray deal (even if he's having a rough year) is that he fits a very particular role that the Pens NEED. He'll clear the crease.

You might want to wait until you see him play regularly before making that estimation.

I'm hearing the Penguins also get two beer kegs in the Murray deal...

There's a reasonable argument to be made D Murray has not been an NHL level defenseman this year.

Just this year?

Ouch.

I've always liked Murray's game but when I've watched him this year he's been pretty bad.
