How to start the goalie part - do we want to look historically, where Murray is unproven with 2 cups...winning both cups as a rookie, or do we want to look how Andersen fared with Anaheim? Do we want to look at regular season, or playoffs?
Sophomore jinx, loss of a bunch of D last season, Pens getting shelled in their first few games. A team that was tired for playing twice as many games as everyone else over the last two years. What part do we want to analyze with this? Maybe for all intents and purposes, his glove hand was weighed down by his championship rings. Plausible anyway.
I'd be willing to bet dollar to Tim Horton's donut, that 90% of the league would take Matt Murray over Frederik Andersen any day of the week. You mentioned fantasy in the above post - Murray is higher in everyone's depth chart...look them up if you want.
