    Default Cam Talbot vs. Matt Murray

    For Team #2 in signature....

    Currently own Cam Talbot and I'm pretty sure I can trade him straight up for Matt Murray. The opposing GM owns Murray and has made it clear he doesn't want him and I don't think he has received any other offers yet. He is an Oilers fan to boot. Is this a no brainer? Matt Murray obviously comes with big injury concerns but he is much younger and Talbot has been bad since last season. I'm thinking it is a trade I should make. Can anyone convince me otherwise?

    Hmm I am not so sure. For all of Talbots warts he's still more reliable then Murray at this stage. Murray's really worries me with his inability to stay healthy. I probably ask for a sweetener on top to make the swap.

    Won?t be able to get a sweetener, the deal is straight up one for one and he?s agreed to it. I just need to confirm or reject.

    I have a lot of questions about Murray but at the end of the day I think I'd have him ranked slightly above Talbot. Unfortunate if you can't get more since they're an Oilers fan, but I think I would do it.

    The league is a 22 man (keep 16) if I read that correctly.

    Talbot and the Oilers are on the edge of being a mess and Talbot is a UFA at the end of the season. Who knows what happens this season and who knows where Talbot will be playing next year. If you can get out of Talbot today and slide right into Matt Murray I think that this is a good move for both now and the future.

    Pull the trigger.

    This is something people aren't talking about much. With the Oilers cap troubles, it could be interesting how they manage to keep him. I still don't get how a cap challenged team put that much into a backup from the KHL.

    Came to right exactly this. the UFA thing is a big deal. I would take the certainty of Murray on a very good Pittsburgh squad.

    Murray will also have much more trade value by the end of the season, being on a better team and ~10yrs younger.
