Does Husso have any playoff experience?
I don't think he was ever going to be an option. Leafs are looking for goalies capable of playoff success.
Uh Oh. Matt Murray Leaves Practice LTIR'd (injury discussion)

Groin was my first guess after watching that video.
Makes no sense for Keefe to even risk playing him tonight.

Samsonov is 1-6 in career playoff games and the Leafs gave him a chance.

Why is it you can be extremely confident in what the answer isn’t, but give no answers to what the right answer in net is?
Would you have traded a 2nd rounder or two to try and dissuade Minnesota from receiving another goalie back for Talbot, go after Husso at the draft, out bid Colorado for Georgiev, or Edmonton for Campbell, or go full balls to the walls and trade Nylander+ for a Helleybuyck or Demko or something.
Goalies moved this summer, and one could attempt to understand the value to teams of goalies that weren’t.
Any educated hockey fan could have given an answer to that.
It’s more fun for everybody to go full armchair GM, rather than cherry-picking perceived criticisms without trying to understand what options could have been out there and the risks and consequences that come with those options.

...and to add to this, it's regular season. Ppl should save their energy for the playoffs, this team has proven to be successful with replacement level goaltending in the regular season.

Bad groin + his glove hand isn't working very well. Warm up the ferry to Robidas Island and give him a hand walking to the terminal.

They can’t sign anyone to an ELC without a trade first. We are at the contract limit.

Those were some bad teammate instincts. 6'9" guy looking for the ref, arms in the air. Last man into the scrum.
Yup, always expected Murray to get injured..... just not before his second game.

Leafs are at the 50 contract limit so the Leafs couldn't even claim someone on waivers to fill a need without getting rid of a another player.
CONTRACTS: 50/50

Dubas traded for him knowing his medical history the last 3 seasons. Even worse

Me to. Maybe he's following in the footsteps of Freddy Gauthier. A gentle giant. Just what we need, lol. Always hoping Dubas wouldn't trade him but after training camp + this, go ahead.

Sign an injury prone goalie and he gets injured..
Shocked I tell you.

Added wrinkle in all this - the Leafs are at 50 contract slots, meaning they won't be able to sign another goalie / upgrade Ferguson's AHL PTO without shipping someone out

Regarding ATO, if we do call up a university kid but he doesn't play, does he lose his amateur status for future ATO consideration?
I know the answer may be an obvious one, but again some rules have been head scratchers.

The Leafs always talk about their calculations as if they were "betting on this, betting on that." Well, this is the well documented downside of that bet. He's essentially a parlay on health and quality of play.
Hopefully the injury is a nothing burger or if worst comes it gives Samsonov some runway to establish himself. But yeah, Murray was always going to be a long bet.
