Keeping Murray was always the right decision
June 21, 2003 The Pittsburgh Penguins have chosen goalkeeper Marc-Andre Fleury with the best overall pick in the NHL project in 2003 in Nashville. Over the next 14 years, Fleury became one of the cornerstones of the Penguins franchise, which included Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Together, the trio won three Stanley Cups, and Fleury became the leader of the franchise throughout the time in almost every major statistical category for the goalkeeper.
Accelerate for nine years until June 23, 2012. Entry to the NHL is held in Pittsburgh, where the Penguins chose another young goalkeeper, this time in the third round. His name was Matt Murray, and he quickly grew into an unthinkable prospect.
