Pierre LeBrun: The Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins have talked about goaltender Matt Murray.
From what understands, the asking for Murray is too high for the Oilers at this point in time – maybe a first-round pick?
Believe that the Oilers will be patient with regards to their goaltender search. The Oilers also have ruled out bringing back Mike Smith next season.
Jonathan Willis: (on LeBrun’s tweet) “Given Smith’s age and how low his lows were, I’m not sure how the team slots him in. Even if they’ve got both a shiny new starter and a way of dumping Koskinen’s contract figured out there are higher-upside bets you can make in the backup slot.
