The math checks out on that, yes haha about 1.56 mil more in shopping money to be exact lol
Nah Gustafson is a minor league guy
No, but the difference isn't massive. My point is the Leafs could've done something to beat that measly price
I don't think Gustavson is as bad as you think, I see lots of Sens fans saying they aren't too happy.
He might be ok, but there's a reason he was their #3. My point is dipshit Dubas could've easily beat that price

So here is the situation.
- Ottawa has to pay 25% of Murray's salary and give a 3rd and a 7th pick to give away a player for nothing but cap space.
- Ottawa trades a younger cheap goalie for a pending UFA goalie who is making $3 million with a $3.67 million cap hit.
Leaf fans - Ottawa is genius, Dorion swindled the Leafs.

What did the Leafs pay again? I forget.
You're missing the part where Gustafson won't amount to much and Talbot is significantly better than Murray, and I don't even like Talbot.So here is the situation.

You're also missing the part where our boy Dubas was the sucker to take that contract for only a 3rd
Talbot is average, I am not happy with Murray, Talbot wouldn't have done much for me either.

I don't like Talbot either, but he's better, less expensive, and only has 1 yr left.

I'll put it this way so you can understand
The sens traded a very low rent goalie for a guy that made last year's NHL all star game
We're paying 1 mil more a year for a guy who no one picked up off waivers

Yeah would have been nice. except that you know. Kallgren isn't as good and holds way less value.
Looking at their board they seem to be pretty fine with it
Murray hasn't played well for 4 years
You guys are massively overeating Gustafson. Hes waiver fodder, and that price was easily beatable

Yeah this just makes less and less sense
Did Dubas want to go for the home run with Murray's potential upside? Sure there's a chance he returns to form and becomes elite, but there's so much risk and the overwhelming likelihood is that he won't
And here with Talbot we could've had a solid 1A who gives you .915 goaltending for 40+ games. Pair that with someone like Samsonov and you have a solid duo

It's the curse of being a Leafs fan. Last year it was Doomsday because Leafs lost Hyman, Bogosian, Andersen and Foligno. They surprised the world by getting record points, often with shaky goaltending.
Then it was "well they will lose in the first again", that came true sadly. It really shouldn't have.
I try to keep the faith with Dubas, he's at least working hard and never content. He certainly isn't shy about rolling the dice. Believe me, paralysis is worse.
