Leafs acquire Matt Murray

[LeafGm]

I see the rationalization has commenced.

Where’s The NoS (zeke) anyway?

What rationalization?

Not sure the last time I remember seeing a move as universally hated on this board as this one.

 

[Artnes]

Think...

Chicago didn't have a goalie on Thursday. They picked a glass goalie that wasn't good enough for the Leafs instead of going after Murray.

Murray wasnt waiving for anyone but the Leafs

Glad we fully capitalized on that!

 

[zeke]

Any number which looks encouraging for Murray ends up being dwarfed by his goalie partner (jarry or forsberg) putting up much better numbers.

This is a crazy fucking move.

 

[MindzEye]

Glad we fully capitalized on that!

Market inefficiencies!

Forsberg was shit too until he wasnt.

This is the Andrew Raycroft moment of this regimes tenure. Except it's Stanley cups well in the rear view rather than a stellar Calder trophy season that they're leaning on.

At least we didn't give up Rask this time

 

[Artnes]

I contemplated saying this very well could be Dubas's JFJ moment last night

Yeah, but were Forsberg or Jarry ever members of the Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds?

Checkmate.

As someone who was beating the "forsberg for backup" drum for a few years, I am forced to point out that he probably wasn't shit.

 

[Preston]

I think the last time FI universally despised a move was the Clarkson signing. This is really taking me back.


Fuck.

Oh you hate it but you’re coping. That’s what I was referring to, been there.

 

[Wayward DP]

2-0 in Game 7. He literally fixes our biggest weakness.

and the like total cup rings on our roster has now doubled or something too?

leaderbeans! proven winner!

Well he pretty much pushed all-in with this move.

Most of your goaltending suggestions were good, IMO, unless there's ones I'm forgetting.

 

[Wayward DP]

I've seen a few people on twitter but yeah, this is the most negative reaction I've seen to anything he's done.

I don't even think people would've been that upset if he wasn't 4.7 million.

of all people to fucking fleece you in a trade, fucking poor Pierre Dorion? come the fuck on. embarrassing.

 

[Preston]

I think we have to count only the first 18 games of his 27 year old season. The last 2 don't count on account of his injury or something. So he was .920!

 

[Wayward DP]

Yeah count me in this category. At 3.1 I was happy with it. If the Leafs took assets from Ottawa and sent those assets to another team to retain another 25%, Murray comes for free and I'm pretty content with that. Murray at 2 years for 3.1 is about what I'd pay for him as a UFA.

But this.. I don't know what this is about.

it just seems like a self-inflicted wound. was there a market for him we didn't know about? seems like the Sens had no good options and then we... gave them one. what the fuck.
