Value of: Getting Matt Murray out of Toronto
- Thread starter Michoulicious
- Start date
The cap hit is only 687 500$ next years for toronto, it's not that much.
They just need to go in abritation with samsonov
I agree. Owners are rich but having to fork over 6M in real money for a broken-down backup goaltender is not worth a return of a 2nd round pick or C-level prospect. And i don't see the Leafs giving up a 1st when they do the buyout.

You could pretty much copy this article and replace smith and Edmonton with Murray and Toronto.

Like Tampa and Vegas have done? Murray is a known bandaid. If the leafs medical staff decide he’s not healthy enough to play and carry a load it would be up to Matt to prove otherwise.
Odds are he shuts up and collects his 8m otherwise he’d get bought out and only be owed 2/3 that over 2 years. If there’s no move to be made to get him on another team then it’s in everyone’s best interest to just go away and get paid.
Had to give up a 1st for Mrazek so at least a 1st and a prospect to get someone to take Murray leafs have no leverage.

They didn’t give up a first to dump Mrazek. They traded down 13 spots. That would normally be a 2nd and 3rd. They got the second and gave up the third with Chicago taking Mrazek instead. They can just buyout Murray anyway.
The problem is the 2 millions the year after when Matthews/(Nylander?) extension kicks in.

My understanding is that the Leafs can't buy out Murray unless any of Samsonov, Der-Arguchintsev, or Abruzzese go to arbitration

Mike Smith, age 40 and didn't want to play any more.
Matt Murray, age 29, has shown no interest in retiring.

If /when . Point is if they want to buy him out there is avenues to do so . This painted into a corner /1 st round compensation just isn’t going to happen . 2 million cap penalty is far easier to absorb with the sizeable increase coming. Everyone licking their chops needs to slow their roll a bit lol .
Mike Smith was like 40 lol. Murray just turned 29.
Not passing his physical at 29, you are basically telling him to retire. It is really young, not sure he'd be on board with that even if you find doctors to say he's toast.

Tor could of done that at the draft and still picked the guy they got in the 1st round.
Chicago's 2nd is basically the same as Toronto's first lol, just a few spots after.
Yes, the leafs have options to either trade at a cost or, if you go to arbitration, buy out the nasty cap hit left by this awful deal done just a few months ago for a player that was almost unanimously flagged as being an excessive injury risk. The minority voice was Leaf fans with blinders on. Yes, you have options to deal with that.
