Murray is having a worse year than last year when it cost aout 2 3rds to dump hin for the sens

He has 1 less year then when we traded for him so fortunately price wont go up

He has been atrocious in 70% of his games and has been injured for a fairly lengthy tine this year.

Murray's a non-option. Get rid of him somehow this offseason.

Its Sammy or bust. If he can't get it done in the playoffs get rid of both and find a new starter with Woll as the backup.

Maybe Murray just needs to do some more healing instead of playing. Murray sits in the stands for the rest of the regular season, is then declared medically fit to play but benched (and not even allowed on the ice to practice) for all 4 playoff games and bought out in the summer by the new GM.

He can't stay healthy long enough to get into any kind of a groove. Same crap that happened with him in Ottawa. Betting on this guy to stay healthy for a playoff schedule is lunacy.

Samsonov all say he’s having a career year and I think he can be a .920 SSV% if they give him the reps. He’s had some bad games but has been more consistent than murry hands down . Samsonov is also 26 years younger and just hitting his prime , give him the reps and lock him up for a 3 year deal like anderson i think it could pay off

If he says he's hurt during the buyout window (ie. broken fingernail, sore bum, etc.) because he doesn't want to be bought out, can he still be bought out?

He is exactly the train wreck of a mess that many of us complained about when we heard about the deal.
Dubas main fail on this one
 
Murray last night was fine, the team in front didn't give any help...

4 goal he allowed is 4 guy uncover right in the slot

1st goal rebound hit in the air, he cant do absolutly nothing

2nd lafferty left the front of the net and pinching thompson for no reason when mccabe was already on ... result tuch all alone in the slot with a great shot

3nd liljegren who didn't follow at all the play and sleeping in front of the net unstead of protecting his player who was all alone for an easy deflect the puck and all alone to put the rebound in

4nd goal one timer right in middle of defensive boxes...

We cant blame goalie for this game, Murray is not the reason why leafs lost yesterday

Just let see who will be hot or cold come playoff

The reality since he came back... despite the fact he allowed 4 goal, murray was fine during 2 of 3 game and the weird thing is his worst game by far is his only win

Something is amiss then. If you have all these strings of games under .900 save % in the playoffs, you’ll be out quickly. I don’t care on who it is, fix it!

Playing the same way toronto played against buffalo and vancouver, whatever who youre goalie would be, you will lost playing that way... its nothing about how Murray play but about how the team player in front
 
People want to forget but last year Murray was so bad that Ottawa put him on waivers and sent him to the AHL unclaimed.

This year 2023 from Jan 1st on.,

He has a .848 sv% in March .. He was injured all February and had a .883 sv% in January. His sv% in 8 games in 2023 = .870 Sv% with a GA/G of 4.29 .

Why are people still asking if this will be Leafs playoff goalie?
