notfondajane Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Zatkoff was put on waivers by the Los Angeles Kings the other day. Should the Pens pick him up so they could expose him to the expansion draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either deal him prior to the expansion draft, or likely lose Murray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlapShot66 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 The Pens do not want to lose Murry because he is solid in the net, Fleury is not and Murry will guide the Pens into the playoffs and to another Stanley Cup Win as long as he is healthy.

Sure, but the expansion draft rules only allow the Penguins to protect one goalie. Fleury has a no movement clause in his contract which means they must protect him. Unless he waives his no movement clause. I would think that Vegas wouldn't mind having a Stanley Cup winning goalie under contract for a few seasons to anchor their franchise's early years. It looks good on paper anyway... He could decide to be exposed to the draft. Pretty sure that works out as a win/win for everybody involved.

The other option for the Pens is to buyout Fleury's contract after they are done with the playoffs leaving them about a 2M cap hit for 4 years. But I think they still will need to have a goalie to expose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
