Seems like a good day to try and get Murray through waivers here. Swayman signed, and Boston now putting both Patera and Bussi on as a result.
Include Phoenix Copley as well. .. seems like there's a lot of options today if a team needs a goalie.

Would Patera go back to the Canucks if not picked up?
Was only with Boston for a few days?

No, if he clears he stays in the Boston system
Only goes back to Vancouver if Vancouver puts in a successful claim, and can only go to the AHL if Vancouver was the only team to put in a claim

Rifai looked good, maybe not quite good enough to make the team or get claimed, but stood out in a positive way.

Hope rifai gets through.
I believe the way it works is that Vancouver can issue "a claim". If they are the only ones that claim him, then he is determined to have cleared waivers and can be assigned to their AHL team.
If they weren't, but had the highest "priority", then he'd be back on their NHL roster, to potentially be waived again.
1 Million for a 6'5 30 year with 2 cups and finally healthy? Seems like a good risk to take for a backup. Buffalo wanted him a couple years ago.
Nashville has a chance to have a Matt Murray Matt Murray tandem in Milwaukee

The last time he was good, Ben Bishop came 2nd in Vezina voting. I'm not even sure why Toronto re-signed him. The guy is cooked to a crisp.

He’s a good number 3 goalie going into the playoffs. I’ll just say that.
I don't think (m)any teams are going to view him as an ideal backup at this stage in his career.
The question is -- does a young team, perhaps with a bit of roster flexibility, view him as "worth" a spot on their 23 man roster as a 3rd goalie? or have a young backup that they can stash in the AHL similar to what SJ did with Askarov.

Rebooting myself
Hes around 20lbs heavier and had surgery last year for some issues that took him out most of the year. Unsure how much those injuries affected him prior to the surgery and for how long.
How awkward would that be haha head coach comes into the room, and today Matt Murray will start in goal. They both are standing on the ice for the anthems lolNashville has a chance to have a Matt Murray Matt Murray tandem in Milwaukee
If I remember correctly, you can't waive an injured player.
Ergo, he's not injured.
But he might be impaired.
