In Murray, the Senators land a quality goaltender with Stanley Cup pedigree and relative youth on his side. He has struggled with consistency in recent campaigns but remains a strong puck stopper (especially for a young, rebuilding squad). A restricted free agent, Murray must now get a new deal with his new team.

The Penguins decided to move forward with Tristan Jarry as their new starting goalkeeper, which made Murray expendable (the club was not really able to afford both). So, Pittsburgh gets a decent winger prospect in Gruden and a second rounder. The Pens need all the prospects they can get right about now.

Murray's short-term value may take a slight hit moving from Pittsburgh to Ottawa, though he is likely to see a lot more action with the Senators (if he remains healthy). Long term, this is a great move for Murray. His keeper value is a lot higher now after this trade. Gruden's long-range value may also improve now that he goes to a prospect-needy team in Pittsburgh.
