Had to re-hash this thread after watching the Habs/Sabres intermission tonight.
Friedman was asked who he would take if an NHL expansion draft were to take place and he had high praise for Matt Murray. He had him hands down over Andersen...
In a later segment Doug Murray said (although I'm paraphrasing as admittedly I was half paying attention because he's hard to listen to obviously), that from is experience teams will look to move players that would otherwise be exposed and ahead of the draft. I *think*
Makes me wonder if Pittsburgh would re-consider moving Murray in order to get a return for him ahead of said event? This TSN article with details on the draft cite him as a specific example:

It would create an interesting dynamic with a team like the Pittsburgh Penguins. One year from now, would the Penguins protect backbone netminder Marc-Andre Fleury or 21-year-old prospect Matt Murray? Murray is widely considered the best goaltender not currently in the NHL.
