He was goalie of the year in the AHL, his rookie season, where he was also rookie of the year
Signed for 3 more years after this at 3.75, who on earth would want to trade a player like that?
If Matt Murray was a Calgary Flames you wouldn't trade 5 first round picks for him.
John Gillies is a year older than Murray for crying out loud.

The faux outrage is unnecessary, and this is no slight in Murray. I just don't believe that if the Penguins were forced to move him—which is the only way he is traded—the actual acquisition cost will not be much more than a player like Bennett.
