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

[Barrie22]

Outsider question, does this mean petrecki might get called up to the show?

nope, the sharks with murray had 7 healthy nhl defensemen when burns was playing forward, now without murray they have 7 healthy nhl defensemen lol

Outsider question, does this mean petrecki might get called up to the show?

Nope. It means better options (Irwin,Demers,Braun) will actually get to play.

 

[skilks]

Morrow and now Murray. Penguins just got a lot slower on the bottom 6 and D.

But a lot harder to play against.

Outsider question, does this mean petrecki might get called up to the show?

Nope. Sharks have 7 D on NHL roster after trade. He'd only get called up if there was an injury.

I'm happy for this trade (See above post) but I liked Murray for a time. He wasn't cutting it this year though, but man did he hit people hard. There was a time where I thought he was the next Mike Ricchi. Happy to see he might win a cup.

As for the haul back, my original post was based on reading the first few posts on the first page. Still happy we got draft picks because it is time to get younger. Very glad this happened and hopefully the Sharks can get that second second-round pick.

So Burns back to D and Demers a healthy scratch again?

 

[beardedgraf]

Nice haul for Murray. Pens fans will be angry at first and a day later come back to tell you that they are the Penguins and if Murray got two 2nd rounders that must mean Shero knows something you dont and its an easy win for them. Anyways, congrats

Two 2nds for Murray!! WOOOOOOO

they are gearing up for a battle..they just got much more grittier..

Possibly. The Sharks' NHL defensemen now are:

Boyle
Burns*
Vlasic
Stuart
Irwin
Demers
Braun

Burns is playing forward right now, so Petrecki may come in as the 7th D.

The other second 2nd (lol!) is conditional. I doubt they re-sign Murray.

 

[SHAR KS]

Now trade Clowe.

 

[PlaywithGutz*]

I would expect the hawks to retort with some type of grit acquisition

 

[DavidPuddy43]

Gonna miss Murray and his hits, but he was so slow this year. 2 2nd rounders is a great return

 

[Juxtaposer]

Even one 2nd is too much.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Great trade, DW! Murray was playing like crap this year, and he still fetched a 2nd plus a conditional 2nd despite being a UFA after this year. Re-sign him, Pittsburgh!

Morrow and now Murray. Penguins just got a lot slower on the bottom 6 and D.

Slower maybe, but tougher which is something our D core has lacked.

Letang-Niskanen
Orpik-Martin
Murray-Despres

(Engellend, Eaton)

Is a really good line up heading into the playoffs.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

They did. They also got 2 slow players on the decline for heavy prices.

don't worry, chances are murray won't resign there and come back as a shark...

he's gonna look scary in black and yellow

 

[SignThornton]

Wow 2-2nd Rounders that's fantastic for Murray. Gonna miss past Murray but his time had come and passed. Great deal!

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Clowe for Stalberg, Shaw and a 2nd.

 

[Broiler19]

Excellent news and worthy of celebratory actions.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Thanks for the years Doug, but DW would have been an ass to turn that deal down. Two 2nd's for Murray? Hell yeah.

 

[magic school bus]

We just fleeced Pittsburgh. I think most people would have been ecstatic over one 2nd round pick, let alone two.


Happiest two people in this trade are Braun and Demers, or maybe they were hoping they'd get to play with Crosby instead.

Exactly. We got a steal today and every Sharks fan should be ecstatic with this return.
