Welcome to the Island

Excellent

 

[Burnie97]

That'll work.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Someone throw some holy water down there so he can't come back please

 

[The Iceman]

I guess that is why TREE didn't buy him out in the first buyout window.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Yahoo! Sorry to Matt but we need that cap space.

 

[DarkKnight]

Awesome!

Too bad someone couldn't have taken out Marleau's kneecaps years ago. Oh well. This is good news.

So if he "heals up" at any point in the season they need to immediately clear space for his salary and of course no buyout option then. Obviously seems shady if he was ready in the playoffs but he might have actually injured himself training

hahahahahahahaha go f*** yourselves, main boards "gonna cost a lot to dump Murray!!! Leafs are in trouble!!" hahahahahahahaha

 

[SprDaVE]

Tough break for Murray. I hope he can recover for next season and maybe make a comeback.

The Dubas legacy lives on.

The Dubas legacy lives on.

No one could have seen this coming, NO ONE!!!

 

[I am Canadian]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the Leafs dump Lafferty and run 21 man roster

12 forwards
7 defense
2 goalies

They fit under the cap?

Dubas is a genius, got a 3rd + 7th for this, and we got a serviceable placeholder for Woll for a year.

He's had concussion issues. Those are always a golden ticket to putting players on the IR and never letting them come back on their own terms, it's all in the hands of the medical staff. That also excludes what Murray himself thinks too, maybe he's decided personally that it's not a good idea to keep going.

Murray's plan of action to play again is with another team if he still wants to play.

I feel for Murray, not having to buy him out is going to be nice.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Summed up the Murray thread on the main board nicely.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Must’ve sprained his feelings when he heard we were going to buy him out.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

This will be Murray’s best moment as a Leaf, outdueling the Sens in a long shootout to get a modicum of revenge against them.

 

[leafan11]

My guess is they went to Murray and said we’re either gonna buy you out or you can stay injured forever .

As I’ve said all along LTIR is the gold standard for the team and player.
