Confirmed with Link: Douglas Murray Traded To Pitt for 2013 2nd round and 2014 2nd/3rd conditional pick

[glasgow26]

Wow it actually happened. Good luck Doug! Hoping we got back at least a 2nd rounder.

 

[Hatrick Marleau]

I think DW might be in a selling mood. He would have kept Murray if we were going for the playoffs.

#Pens finalizing a trade for #Sharks Douglas Murray. Latest talk I heard was draft picks involving 2 2nd rounds or 2nd/ 3rd. #tradetracker

I'm going to be ecstatic if we got that.

now for clowe and boyle to go, blow it up

Me too! What a steal.

Or DW is sick of his coach playing Murray over Demers (And, thus, not fielding the best team possible) and pulled a Moneyball (where Billy Beane wants Art Howe to play Hatteberg over Pena, but Howe won't do it, so Beane trades Pena)..

hahahahah wow.

If they get two 2nd round picks out of Douglas Murray, I will be so happy. Not happy enough to keep Doug Wilson past this season but happy enough to let him do the deadline deals then can him. lol

Well duh. He might actually win a cup this year.

 

[PlaywithGutz*]

restocking the cupboards ....you would be crazy to trade Clowe now IMO unless you want Desi being the tough guy

 

[Coily]

a 2nd and a 3rd for Murray?

Sellers market for sure

PIT's acquisition price on Douglas Murray is two second-round picks.

EDIT: Thats freaking incredible.

Sharks get value for Douglas Murray. Two 2nd round draft picks.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Thanks for all your hard work and determination, Douglas. Awesome 8th round pick and I for one appreciate your time with San Jose.

As abysmal as Murray has been this year, he's still a great guy who busted his *** every night and was an absolute beast for a few seasons. Best of luck Doug, I'll definitely be pulling for the Pens in the playoffs now if/when the Sharks get eliminated.

 

[Sharksrule04]

Confirmed via Twitter. Two 2nd rounders coming our way. No mention of the years but WOW! what a steal on our end.

Will likely be 2013 and 2014. I don't think the Pens have extra picks in the 2nd round this year.

 

[beertelescope]

I'll miss the big hits, but it had to be done. I'm hoping this is the first of several dominoes. TRADES.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Oh my god, that is a ridiculous haul. Atta boy Doug!

 

[Juxtaposer]

I am so happy right now.

Gonna miss him personally, because he was a great soldier for many years. Destroyed the odds even getting to the NHL, and became an incredibly underrated #3 defenseman for many years. But it's time to move on. The good thing is that I can't stand Pittsburgh, but if they win the Cup I'll at least have someone to cheer for.

 

[rideaucrusher21]

2 2nd rounders.. My goodness!!!

Boyle's price must be astronomical! Great move by DW
