Value of: Getting Matt Murray out of Toronto

[Michoulicious]

With the recent signings, Leafs are quite a bit over the cap.

Samsonov/Woll are their guys.

Murray is all but gone, but has negative value.

Quite a few teams have a bit of cap and won't contend this year (Montreal, Detroit, Arizona, etc.)

How much to get rid of him? Late 1st? 2nd (Toronto next 2nd rounder is in 2027)? 3rd? Prospect?

The more desperate TO gets the higher the cost. They should just buyout Murray.

I think it won't take more than a second. Maybe less. I can't see why Anaheim isn't the ones to do it. They need a goalie anyway, and have tons of cap space. heck, they aren't even at the floor yet.

We can’t have that 2M cap hit next season.

Thing is I'm not convinced it's going to cost that much... Just not sure how much.

 

[HockeyVirus]

3rd and a 6th was the cost to dump 2 years.

Can't be higher than that for 1 year. Worst case a buyout solves the problem this year

 

[I Pity The Foo]

They can only buy him out if they have a player goes to arbitration.

They can’t buy him out anymore, deadline is passed

He doesn’t have to actually go to arbitration. They just need a player to file for it.

Someone like Samsonov

They can’t buy him out anymore, deadline is passed

There is a second buyout window

 

[Gil Gunderson]

They can’t buy him out anymore, deadline is passed

There’s another window.

There is a second buyout window

When?

Who’s filed for arbitration so far?

 

[Mersss]

Habs will take him for a 2025 1st

 

[Michoulicious]

There’s another window.

When is it again?

 

[socko]

I guess we'll find out. Just glad it's not Dubas making the trade.

 

[Empoleon8771]

It cost the Islanders a future 2nd rounder to get out of Bailey's deal and Murray makes about the same with the same term. That's probably going to be the cost to get out of his deal as well.

 

[cyris]

When?

Who’s filed for arbitration so far?

It’s after player arbitration. No has filed yet but there is still time to do so

Dubas was quite good to get out of contracts for cheap... Ritchie, Mrazek come to mind.

Marleau did cost Seth Jarvis however.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

not gonna pass his physical in spring

 

[BlueSeal]

2nd + Murray for future considerations. I'd pay a 2nd just to get rid of him.

Marleau was kinda a unique situation. He was a 35+ contract so Carolina had to buy him out but still had to keep his full cap hit

 

[Michoulicious]

How far in the future can you trade a pick? Next Leafs 2nd rounder is in 2027.

It was the Marleau one that burned my butt. So we could sign that statue Tavares.

But yes, I'll agree, he got out of those others at a reasonable cost. I just don't trust him though. He got the raw end of so many deals.

Toronto doesn’t have one.

 

[LeafChief]

LTIR.

I heard when he arrives, Lupul is on the welcoming committee.

And you’re counting on a player filing for arbitration for this?

Are you confident Samsonov will file by Wednesday at 5pm? If not, kiss your window goodbye.
