Penguins Have A Long-Term Card In Sergei Murashov

Pittsburgh may have a goalie prospect with real staying power in Sergei Murashov. The Penguins are looking at more than a hot hand here - they are looking at a player who could matter long after the current noise dies down. That is the kind of asset front offices guard carefully, because true long-term answers in net are hard to find and even harder to keep. If Murashov keeps tracking the way the Penguins believe he can, this stops being prospect talk and starts becoming organizational leverage.
