We should 100% trade Murray this offseason, absolute no brainer. I think it’ll be fairly cheap too.
The Sens only had to pay us a 3rd round pick to dump 2 years of Murray at $4.7 mil AAV. His play and injuries with the Leafs were the same this year as they’ve been the last few years, have to think we could dump 1 year of Murray at the same cap hit ($4.7 mil) for a similarly low price?
Also, we recently dumped 2 years of Mrazek at $3.8 mil AAV, and the cost was low too - trading down from 25 to 38 in the draft. Mrazek is way worse than Murray, and 2 years vs. 1.
So yeah, I’ll bet we can dump him by trading down (Boston 1st for an early 2nd), or for a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Something along those lines. He’d be a good fit on a team with a young, up and coming goalie, who could play in a tandem with Murray. Murray eases him into the league, and the team only has to commit to 1 year.
