Summer Trade Proposal.

Pittsburgh Trades
Fleury

Toronto Trades
Kadri
Komarov
Sparks

MMurray should be ready for the #1 Roll in Goal.
Kadri and Kovarov with Bennett on the 3rd Line gives Pit great foward depth.
Sparks is either in the AHL or NHL to backup MMurray but see Pit going out to sign a Vet UFA backup like CJohnson.

Every Team builds from Goaltender out just like the Leafs did years ago Trading for Fuhr.
With the possibility of Matthews, Stamkos, Radulov and Vesey being added up front Kadri and Komarov are easier to Trade without losing any scoring at forward.

Thoughts?

Pittsburgh won't trade Fleury. Murray may be playing well but is still quite young. They don't want Murray to have a sophomore slump and have to rely on Zatkoff or Dparks now would they?

Expansion Draft not far away
Yes a Fleury and Bishop will be Traded probably this summer.
MMurray is the real deal and I bet Pit knows it to.

Pinball the expansion is likely 2017/ 18 and they still have a whole other offseason to settle out the Fleury situation. They will not give the reigns to Murray at such a young age, look what that did to DiPietro and they can afford to keep Fleury plus have Murray as a backup until they are comfortable with him starting. You need to develop players, not throw them into the fire and hope it works out in your favour

Bishop will leave as a UFA, much like the Stamkos situation this year. Vasilevsky will take over and Bishop will cash in with another team. Tampa hung onto Stamkos even though the return could have been massive, they'll just bank on Bishop winning them a cup and hope Vasilevsky is ready.

Murray may end up being the real deal but what NHL team that is a playoff contender year after year and relies heavily on their goaltender to steal some games for them is going to hand the reigns to a goalie with 7 NHL games under his belt? They wouldn't. It's a ridiculous idea. Why can't you get that through your head?

Ok Chirp

Patrick Roy
Andy Moog / Grant Fuhr
Ron Hextall
Felix Potvin
Bill Ranford

To name a few in the past who like MMurray where giving the #1 and ran with it, Bishop now in TB so that's not a very good fact base argument.
