Uh Oh. Matt Murray Leaves Practice LTIR'd (injury discussion)

[SprDaVE]

So with Murray on LTIR what does this do for cap space?

Leafs can use his cap space to go above the cap further.

So the Leafs will likely recall Robertson, Mete and Simmonds.

Fire Dubas into the sun!

Got us a starting goalie at 1.8M and 4.7M cap relief !

A part of me wants to cry a part of me wants to laugh

 

[CelticDruid]

Hopefully he isn't Mrazek 2.0

Murrazek 1

 

[keonsbitterness]

Did Kyle intend this all along to get the cap relief?

Sure, let's go with that. It's a work, just like everything else in life.

 

[Mickey Marner]

So with Murray on LTIR what does this do for cap space?

We can use his LTIR space in the meantime. Can’t reactivate Murray unless we have 4.75 AAV available though. Ultimately, we’ll need to make a trade and quit running a 20-man roster with no cap space that also doesn’t accrue cap space because it’s stupid.

I wanted a bit of a run with Samsonov anyways. Goalies like to get into a rhythm. At least that's the way it was 10-20 years ago. Nowadays these goalies are pampered so much that they've become injury-prone. So I don't know how Samsonov feels. We'll see how he plays and that'll be the answer. I know I'd be fired up.

It’s 4D chess! My feeble mind.

Anxiety strain

 

[PromisedLand]

Can "The Rock" play goalie? Is he still in town?

 

[Divine]

To be honest, this trade was genius in 2 ways.

1.) If Murray is always on LTIR, the Leafs got 2 picks to take LTIR space that doesn't affect them.
2.) If Murray finds his game, the Leafs got a decent goaltender for cheaper.

The only negative is if Murray is horrible AND healthy, but that's not his track record so far. Also, with his injury history, won't be hard to Mike Smith the guy.

 

[Martin Skoula]

So with Murray on LTIR what does this do for cap space?

We trade for Kane at 50% and run 6 on 5 all game.

 

[stickty111]

Samsonov with a chance to get the job. At least we can carry extra players now

Yeah, call up Robertson.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

So with Murray on LTIR what does this do for cap space?

Can carry a 23 man roster and active Liljegren offf LTIR when he's eligible.

 

[hamzarocks]

Where is Woll?

Is he also injured?

We should give him a stint. He had solid #s last year in 4 games

I'd rather him then Kallgren

 

[francis246]

They've called Kallgren up, instead of waiting until tomorrow to go the Emergency Callup route - that means they've immediately put Murray on LTIR, just hours after injury.

It's not a minor groin pull.

I’m not reading anything into the LTIR. This is the perfect situation for the leafs. It could still be a minor groin pull but they want him to take his time with it. This also buys the leafs time by putting him on LTIR. They can keep a strong roster before making a move. To me this is let’s take the extra precautions and also solve our cap situation. Compared to this is a huge injury.

Maybe we can play Marner on D with Rielly ??

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Yikes!

So Chris Johnston jumped the gun with his earlier tweet about Murray starting tonight? Almost like these reporters would rather be "first" rather than "accurate".

He's on season opening IR.

Smells like Mrazek 2.0 but anything is possible.

Damn sucks

 

[francis246]

Potentially, I think regardless whether it was a minor injury or big injury for Matt Murray he was going on LTIR. It helps the leafs to give him as much time to deal with any injury and also helps them with their cap situation.

 

[LeafGrief]

I still cannot believe that Dubas staked his career on a goalie made of glass. Incredibly disappointing.
