If the Penguins want more than that they can pound sand as far as I'm concerned.

One hitch though is would he sign that offer sheet? I've read that he's rumored to want about $30,000,000 total on his next deal. So roughly 6 years x $5,000,000.
Matt Murray is a career 2.67/.917 goalie. That puts him in the same category as every famous goalie you can think of.

Price, Fleury, Lundqvist, Roy, Kipper, Brodeur, Rinne, Quick, Holtby, Bobrovsky, Nabokov, and so on.

Murray’s the guy, if we can get him. And we have to get a goalie. Without one, everything else is window dressing.
