Why are you guys dying to trade the 6th overall for an asset that there is no market for?! Like, if the Flames or Leafs don't take this asset off their hands, what else are they going to do with it? For Murray, assuming he holds it together for the rest of the playoffs, at least you can make a case. But, if he holds it together, the Pens aren't trading him, period, so that's a non-starter. The rest are all talented back-ups with potential. There are a lot of goalies exposable for the expansion draft. There are only a couple jobs. It's hard to say who of this bunch of goalies is going to turn out best. "Buyer's market" means "pay less"...
