A bit of news on the Matt Murray front, from two angles:
Contract news
PIT and G Matt Murray closing in on multi-year contract extension, likely 3 yrs (beyond this season). I'd think AAV should be less than $4M.

This is not surprising in the least, that the Pens would want to lock him up before the (although never realistic) threat of an offer sheet could come into play, allowing an RFA contract issue to surface. We are seeing this happen right now with Hampus Lindholm and the Anaheim Ducks, and we saw the Calgary Flames and Johnny Gaudreau take it down to the 11th hour.
