This is beyond nonsense.

3 prospects and 2 draft picks? The value really isn't as bad as you'd think. Treliving is like a race horse with blinders. He can only see a small view of what's going on and only sees what is ahead.
He knows he just needs a young #1 goalie and this team is set.
Murray has played 62 regular season games in 2 seasons. Nobody knows if he's the next Jim Carey or Patrick Roy.
For what it's going to cost to find out we are better off giving 23 year old Jon Gillies the opportunity he deserves.
All this talk about trading away very good young players for something we may already have.
The entire situation just reminds of J.S. Giguere and I want to cry into my pillow.
Answer the question though.
IF we gave up;
2017 1st Round Pick
2018 2nd Round Pick
Mark Jankowski
Oliver Kylington
Jon Gillies
for
Matt Murray
How much better are the Calgary Flames in 2017-2018.
If Murray is as advertised Calgary is Top 2 in the pacific. Top 3 western conference and very much in the discussion for the Stanley Cup.
You aren't giving up a single asset on your team today. Quite frankly to not consider making this trade would be stupid. Treliving has proven he's mad enough to make deals like this that are just as risky.
Calgary just needs to get 1 forward and 1 dman from Stockton to make the jump next season. It's reasonable to think Klimchuk can play on our 3rd line and Andersson can play #5/#6D.
Why wouldn't you make the trade for a 22 year old #1 Goalie.
