Tierney does make sense as a potential target for 2 reasons:
1. Tierney was apparently a 3C target by JR back in the 2017 off-season, after they didn't re-sign Bonino
2. JR is looking for a defensively strong 3C this off-season, based on an interview he gave this afternoon
I think the value is pretty good too, both have the value of probably about 2 2nds. I think this makes sense.
I wasn't sold on Tierney because I didn't think he was that good analytically, but I just saw his isolated impact charts and it said a different story:

We saw him heading straight for the mountains
Ottawa has Nilsson and Hogberg signed on 1ways next sesaon. Unless Nilssons concussions keep him out for longer than intended, I highly doubt Ottawa would be trading for another goalie.

The Penguins could also take Hogberg back. If they run with Jarry-DeSmith, they'll need a 3rd goalie to be the starter in WBS.

If Nilsson is out for the season, I would see them just bringing back Anderson tbh. We just have so many goalie prospects etc, doesn't make sense to trade for another goalie.

Mads Sogaard - 37th overall pick last year
Daccord - very nice first pro season last year in the AHL
Hogberg - Solid first season in the NHL last year
Mandolese - Fnally put it together in the QMJHL last season and put up top tier numbers
Gustavsson - Struggling a bit in the AHL, but has very promising tools. Acquired him from PIT in the Brassard trade

1. Sens already have two goaltenders + a bunch of spares.
2. Murray is expensive. Ottawa doesn't want to spend money
3. Murray was dogshit last season on a fairly good team and Ottawa's goalies were better on a bad team. I don't think he will 100% be an improvement.
4. Ottawa needs quality players like Tierney because they have few NHL vets
5. Ottawa has a bunch of other options in Free Agency that doesn't cost them Tierney.
No interest whatsoever.

Well its s good thing its a known fact Ottawa does have interest in murray and he could very well land up there. Pitt declines this deal especially after today
I'd love to see a credible rumour that shows the Senators interested in Murray. Link?
