Confirmed with Link: [TOR/OTT] Matt Murray (25% retention), a 3rd in 2023 and a 7th in 2024 for Future Considerations.

[Brobust]

Buffalo deal was Murray + 7th for 16th.

What is the price to move up from 9 spots in the 1st round? Another top 90 pick.

That's the only logic I can think of here.

 

[Carltons Cup]

Someone turn off the lights.

The show is over.

[DarkKnight]

Dekes For Days is in the fetal position. That’s a tough turd to shine.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Bare minimum too is we should have unloaded Holl's contract

f***s sake yeah, we didn't even send a cap dump their way.

 

[Smif]

There better be more moves made. Murray cannot be the starter for next season!!...... Can he???

There's not enough cap space to get a starter now. We have 1.5-2M left for a backup.

 

[hamzarocks]

I feel the same. We're in the minority, lol.

If he can stay healthy, I think good chance he can be good for us.

Now, there's obviously a high chance things can go south, but I'm going to at least give this a chance.

Much happier with this than mrazek

He's legit done some dirty things in the playoffs

Mrazek was a sieve there

Big gamble move that hopefully works out

 

[LeafSteel]

Still in disbelief.

If we waited for him to be bought out and negotiated a UFA deal with Murray because he’s really our missing piece in net, would we sign him for $4.7m for 2 years per? Would anyone offer him that, when it was known he was only interested in Toronto or Edmonton?

God, Dubas can’t negotiate worth a damn, and has no idea how to press when he has leverage.

He just got absolutely hosed. I hope he’s gone before it’s time to renegotiate Matthews, Nylander, and Marner. The guy just bends over.

 

[mcleex]

Come on guys, how can you not trust Doobie

 

[HolyCrap]

Dubas playing chess when the others are playing checkers. Too bad nobody told Dubas it’s a checkers game and not a chess game.

Dekes For Days is in the fetal position. That’s a tough turd to shine.

This is what happens when you continually treat your GMs and players as "friends", You get bent over by f***ing everyone.

 

[BackPassChampions]

I think Nylander gets traded.

What do you mean? In the off season or when things go south?

 

[1specter]

Not even the biggest fanboys can put a spin on this. Straight up Dubas is just hoping for a hail Mary gamble to pay off on goaltending and that's a fireable f***ing offense with a team that's in its prime contention window

 

[al secord]

Time to turn on the Smiths and cry myself to sleep

 

[DarkKnight]

That's a disappointing lack of salary retention.

And hey I hope he works out great (of course) but I have a real difficult time justifying in my head that Murray 2022 is worth $4.7M while Campbell was lowballed at $2.75M or something like that.

It literally walks all over our former narrative with Jack.

 

[Morgs]

Man I always forget how damn dramatic everyone is.

"We should have just signed Campbell"

You guys, Matt Murray had a great season last year before his last two games and a concussion. Even if you don't see value in Murray, it's very likely both Toronto, and Ottawa do. We're literally picking up a goalie with a Stanley cup pedigree (career .921 in the playoffs) and coming off a season where he did this:



I'm disappointed in *only* getting back a 3rd with 25% retention as from our perspective it appeared like we had Ottawa over a barrel, but its not even remotely a bad trade. It's not close to a win as we took on all the risk, but we got paid to take on a 28 year old starting capable goalie with 2 cup rings. I can't believe (well I mean, it is HFLeafs) people are saying things like: "The worst deal Dubas has ever made" like the Foligno deal didn't happen.

We got paid to take on a potential #1 goalie at a 25% cap hit. The return was light, but again, we got paid to take on a #1 goalie lol.

 

[ULF_55]

maybe the future considerations are Murray?

 

[The Masters]

 

[JKG33]

Imagine being a supposed cup contender, and your dumbass GM rolls with a starting goalie who was a salary dump. Incredible. I have no words left for this moron at the helm

 

[BackPassChampions]

Much happier with thos than mrazek

He's legit done some dirty things in the playoffs

Mrazek was a serve there

Big gamble move that hopefully works out

Agreed. I'll take him over Mrazek as well.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Gosh I hate living in Quebec.
I hear fireworks across the bridge and laughter in streets around me.
F U Dubas

 

[al secord]

Come on guys, how can you not trust Doobie

He can't ear you wid da two rings in is ear

 

[Mickey Marner]

It's actually a rather impressive display of incompetence for Dubas to negotiate Dorion down from 7th for 16th to only a 3rd and 7th.

 

[DarkKnight]

This is what happens when you continually treat your GMs and players as "friends", You get bent over by f***ing everyone.

I was listening to his pre draft presser and he just seems too nice a guy for this gig. He just gets walked over and has created such a cozy environment.

 

[Stephen]

So after thinking about this for 45 minutes, the only positive I can think of if this gamble doesn't work out is Murray is such a bandaid he probably already owns property on Robidas Island. You could disappear his money on LTIR.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Alright, I'm on the fire Dubas train now. I don't get this move at all.

Too late for that now. The time was 3 years ago.
