If he’s healthy he’s a decent option with pedigree. If he’s not healthy he’s irrelevant to the cap. Seems like a free dice roll to me
Confirmed with Link: G Matt Murray is out indefinitely, will be put on LTIR prior to season starting.

No he wouldn't be.
Also, we didn't have to trade any pick. LTIR. Why talking about something that you think would happen? It wouldn't. I'm right and your wrong even tho none of us know.

Remember when we discussed the previous year of placing him on LTIR immediately upon acquiring him?
People didn't like the idea last year, but now it seems the majority are onboard this year.
We would have likely had a #1 goalie + a 3rd + a 7th if he stayed healthy... what kind of logic is this? When he was healthy and got rolling he was good, the same as in Ottawa the year before.
He aquired like 12 dudes from a mid tier ohl franchise so yes it's pretty confirmed.

I picture Murray in flip flops with his wife, beer in hand while he collects cash.
He wins any way you slice or dice it.

Having issues reading I see
If he stayed healthy this year we would be off loading him for a first. That's what happens when you play terrible hockey on a massive cap hit.
He was good in November. Mediocre to below avg in December and AHL level every other month

FYI ..
That 3rd is long gone as it was dealt along with a 1st, 2nd and 4th to rent Ryan O'Reilly for 11 playoff games.
Leafs only have the 7th round pick in 2024 left to show for that.

So is Dubas a genius again? Got a free 3rd + 7th for a goalie that costs us nothing but cash$ at the end of the day. All that fear mongering for nothing.
He hasn't played good hockey for 4 years dude. It's the same reason why only two teams wanted him last off season
Pretty easy to tell what was going to happen when it was pretty well speculated prior to this ltir announcement. It was either going to be a buyout or massive package to offload him. In part because he's often injured but also because when not injured he hasn't been a good goalie since pre covid

This is essentially the potential fallout we have been hearing about recently of Murray blocking a buyout claiming, he is not healthy now so as per CBA you can't buy out and injured player.
Murray now guaranteed he gets his full ridiculous $8 mil salary, whereas a buyout at 2/3rds rate would have costed him over $2 mil in lost wages.
So Leafs are playing the game, if you're injured now preventing a buyout then you're also going on LTIR to start the year, and not going to be healthy in a few months to start the season.
Once on LTIR, "Don't call us we'll call you"
Nah, this is Murray's best moment as a Leaf right here. Knowing he'll never play another game here
