Leafs acquire Matt Murray

[LeafOfFaith]

If it's common knowledge behind the scenes that Kuemper and Campbell have "agreed" to deals, maybe the Sens felt they had Dubas by the balls.

Is there another 1A option even available?

He still should've waited.

Worse comes to worse, if Murray got traded elsewhere, he has to part with a prospect or two to pry a solid goalie out of someone.

Is Murray a 1A?

 

[thehabhater]

Hawks at best, and doubt they'd have been competing other than just being a potential option.

Buffalo. But he wouldn’t wave.

 

[leafman101]

Yeah there is no rush to make this deal. The only deadline was the Sens would have bought him out tomorrow and the Leafs could’ve signed him for nothing.

Save percentage is a funny thing.

It's really not.

Stop more pucks = win more games

The average cup winning goalie over the last 30 years has somewhere between a .925-.930sv%, that's no an accident regardless of how you try to spin it.

Buffalo. But he wouldn’t wave.

That's why they weren't an option. Chicago and that's it, unless somehow the Caps were interested.

We know the Oilers already have jerseys waiting for Jack.

Is Murray a 1A?

Murray is 1 period.

1Q

No one wants Murray and we panic to get him. Dumb.

I think this is letting him off the hook too much though - we're looking for two goalies because his acquisition last year was so disastrous. We've had bottom third team sv% for two of the last three seasons.

Not like it's just this year in a vacuum.

Huh? That’s exactly my point.

Thoughts and prayers that those 18 games were legit, I guess.

Murray is 1 period.

A big #2

 

[LeafOfFaith]

After his shutout in the season opener, we should look back at this thread to compare general sentiment.

It's sad we are in this position when we need a huge playoff run this year.

 

[MindzEye]

Let's be honest, a 1st for Marleau was dumb. And yes, the contract was horrific. But I still don;t get that price.

Backed himself into a cap corner with the Tavares deal tbh.

 

[Leafin']

Murray is 1… big piece of shit.

 

[hockeylover]

Huh? That’s exactly my point.

Sounded like you were absolving him, guess I misunderstood - disregard.

[JackBurton]

He got schooled on a trade by the "...WE'RE A TEAM..." guy.

 

[MindzEye]

Dubas trade track record is truly truly impressive.

Foligno
Kadri
Rittich
Murray
Marleau

Well...Muzzin, getting Jack in the first place, Kapanen deal.

I agree in general though, not really much of a horse trader.
