If Pittsburgh decides to keep MAF what is the value of Matt Murray? What could the Penguins reasonably expect as a return?
San Jose traded a first-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft and forward prospect Sean Kuraly to get Martin Jones. Something similar to this.
Stanley Cup winning goalie on ELC still Penguins would be idiots to keep MAF instead of him. His value would be high if he was for trade.
They might not have a choice. Fleury has a NMC and must be protected in expansion. He also has a NTC that allows him to dictate 18 teams he can be traded to, which doesn't look good for the Pens if Fleury decides he wants to stay in Pittsburgh. Given that there are only a handful of teams that need a starting goalie and don't already have a goalie signed for big money, all Fleury would have to do is name the 12 teams most likely to trade for him and the Pens will be screwed.
This is all speculation right now.

Jones hadn't backstopped a team to a Stanley Cup. Given what he's accomplished AND the Pens' situation (win now), he would probably cost more.
Late first and overager NCAA prospect was the price for Jones.
Kuraly was a 5th rounder with 0.6 points per game in NCAA. Worth maybe a 3rd or 4th in vacuum.
So 20th + 4th round pick for Murray.
between his age inconsistent play and fairly large contract they could very well have a hard time finding a new home for fleury.
Fleury's contract carries a no-movement clause, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, meaning Rutherford would be compelled to protect him unless Fleury agrees to waive the clause so he can be left exposed in the expansion draft.
there also wasnt an impending expansion draft where every team could only protect 1 goalie, so that should lower the value.
If fleury decides he wants to remain a pen, they will have to take the best offer they can get, which wont be a mid 1st + top prospect

There is this scenario...
Seems like a pretty unlikely scenario given that Fleury has recently said he wants to remain a Penguin.
All he has to do is not waive his NMC and he's the starting goalie for the Pens again. If I were in his shoes that's what I'd do.

Martin Jones didn't accomplish any of the stuff Matt Murray has so it's a start, but you'd have to add more, to get a Cup Winning goalie that isn't some fluke.
Thank you for your analytical input.This is the worst analyzing of value I have seen in this thread.
You are wrong.
