As for Murray, I don't care who the Pens have that we haven't seen, they don't have a Douglas Murray type player. Pens have to make an attempt to sign him.
I like Morrow and his grit. e may take a discount if he wins the cup but I'm not betting on it. He's 35, right? He's going to take the biggest contract he can before he sails off into the sunset.
Same with Iginla. I don't think he'll stay.

Yes, his name is Brooks Orpik.

Somebody prolly will make a run at Duper in the offseason. This might bring Morrow into play if he is willing to take a pay cut. Iginla is going back to Calgary after he gets his cup. He's a legend there.

Huh? That is not the reality Orpik. Orpik could be that player. Should be that player. Safe to say he will never be that player we all wanted him to be for many years. He teases you with a big hit on occasion. Notice how he started hitting more and just being more aggressive when someone else (Murray) showed up.
Murray plays the same way all the time every time. Physical.

Crazy question i know, but why would Iginla put his house for sale if he was planning on returning to Calgary in the off-season???

Stamkos was quoted saying that Orpik was the mos physical defenseman he has ever played against. You're are not giving Orpik enough credit. Orpik can intercept a pass through the slot to save his life but he is still very physical.

And I agree with that. But please notice how I state Orpik CAN do that...SHOULD do that...but does not do that near enough. When Orpik wants to hit there are few that rival him in that department. He just does not do enough of it.
