Speaking of the inevitable, the Pittsburgh Penguins General Manager, Jim Rutherford told The Athletic on Tuesday that he may have to trade either the Stanley Cup-winning Matt Murray or the young and energetic Tristan Jarry. For context, Murray’s annual value is $3.75 million whereas Jarry’s is just $675,000 but surly to rise within the next year.
Firstly, it’s doubtful that the Penguins can dig deep enough into their wallets to find room for both of these highly touted keepers as they’ve continued all season in an epic netminder battle on and off the ice.
