If he shot right he'd be in their top sixI thought there was a chance Rifai made the Leafs

Is Matt Murray ever going to fully recover from his injury?

He wouldn’t be on waivers if he was injured.Is Matt Murray ever going to fully recover from his injury?
Goalie depth is a pretty critical in the NHL. If there are any teams with a little uncertainty in the crease, $900,000 for a 30 year old, former #1, 2 time cup winner, who had surgery, is rested etc... is a damn interesting risk. Worst case is a veteran depth in the AHL. I think he doesnt clear. But we will see.Along with a first round pick
He can't be "interesting AHL depth" for a team to claim him. If he's claimed he needs to be on the NHL roster.Goalie depth is a pretty critical in the NHL.

Yea, they can pick him up give carry him on his roster, play him, see how he does and then try to slip him through if it doesnt work out. Im thinking teams with injuries now. Maybe Vancouver?He can't be "interesting AHL depth" for a team to claim him. If he's claimed he needs to be on the NHL roster.
With his injury history no team can count on him as a backup and are teams really going to claim him and then keep 3 goalies around on the off chance he can actually stay healthy?
I completely disagree, why claim him just to waive him again. He hasn't played meaningful hockey in 1.5 years. Murray needs to prove he can still play, and stay healthy. That only happens in the AHL because no team is giving him a runway to start right now at the NHL level.Yea, they can pick him up give carry him on his roster, play him, see how he does and then try to slip him through if it doesnt work out.

Worst case he is picked up and hes off your roster, or you get a veteran AHL option and good emergency option.
I havent looked at other rosters but considering how bad our #1 situation has been in the past and how bad our backup was in the past... there has to be teams jumping on this. Goalie depth is hard to come by. Every team wants a 6'5 goalie.
Ill be shocked if he clears. Though I want to see him get a chance in the NHL. Seems like a good guy. I think the added 20lbs will help him too, he looked fit and healthy in the weight training photos posted by the Team.
I was wrong. Sucks for Murray.I completely disagree, why claim him just to waive him again. He hasn't played meaningful hockey in 1.5 years. Murray needs to prove he can still play, and stay healthy.

If he goes down, stays healthy, plays well and gets called up, at that point there's no way he clears waivers to go back down. But teams arent out here looking to sabotage players careers. Everyone knows, Murray included, that he needs to prove himself by playing and staying healthy.
