Friedman: Matt Murray discussions between CHI/PIT | Extension talks between Murray & CHI didn't work out

[Cor]

I wonder if Murray and his camp are asking for an insane amount from teams PIT let contact them, to try and force PIT not to qualify Murray and he can be a UFA

So Matt Murray not to the Blackhawks?

 

[TheDoldrums]

Seems like his salary demands are certainly making him tough to move.

Too slow buddy: Friedman: - Matt Murray discussions between CHI/PIT | Extension talks between Murray & CHI didn't work out

 

[Kevin Musto]

I presume Murray wants more money than Chicago is willing to give him, so this is dead.

They already qualified him.

Crawford a UFA

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Murray was qualified:

 

[A1LeafNation]

Crawford: what the...

 

[Merrrlin]

Murray was qualified:

His QO was 6m wasn't it?

Crawford: what the...

Haha yep, and I think a lot of starting G's will be having that same feeling in the next couple weeks.

3.75mil

 

[SomeDude]

Murray's reported contract ask was unrealistic even before Covid. Sounds like he hasn't come back to reality.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Murray should clear the arbitration walkaway threshold easily if the $6 mil award chatter is legit. Teams may just wait that out.

 

[TheDoorDoctor]

Thank god things fell through!

 

[Mick Jagr]

Crawford a UFA

A 35 year old UFA who will turn 36 before (December) the season likely starts. Yikes.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Crawford: what the...

Crawford is a UFA. No guarantee he is coming back to Chicago.

I mean, Murray in arbitration would get killed.

This title has it backwards it appears!

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I mean, Murray in arbitration would get killed.

I don't know about that. As Pens fans like to point out in justifying his trade value, 2 Stanley Cups.

 

[Gardner McKay]

The tweet clearly says he isn't going to the Hawks. Not worthy of its own thread.

 

[Gurglesons]

I don't know about that. As Pens fans like to point out in justifying his trade value, 2 Stanley Cups.

One of the below is favorable for Murray. Trade value and arbitration awards are a completely different story. In a world where Jake Allen got a 3rd and Dubnyk got a 5th, Murray is closer to Allen in value no?

• The player's "overall performance" including statistics in all previous seasons
• Injuries, illnesses, and the number of games played
• The player's length of service with the team and in the NHL
• The player's "overall contribution" to the team's success or failure
• The player's "special qualities of leadership or public appeal"
• The performance and salary of any player believed to be comparable to the player in the dispute.
