Leafs acquire Matt Murray

[WellPlayed]

True they may have big plans for the 3rd and 7th round picks

Oh absolutely, we could turn that 3rd into like a 4th and a 6th or even four 7th rounders or something crazy. What a haul.

Petr Mrazek has been a better goaltender than Matt Murray over the last three years.

Terrible overpaid backup
1st rounder

for

2nd rounder
3rd rounder
7th rounder
Equally terrible overpaid goalie who's always hurt and we now have to use as a starter
$1 million less cap space than when we started the offseason

That's what glasses just did.

What in the actual fuck.

I do think this part is kinda misleading. The value of dropping from 25 to 38 is a third.

So it's more like Mrazek + 3rd -> Murray + 3rd + 7th

If he double retains, it's probably fine.

Not now, I'm rolling.

My apologies, carry on my friend.

Double retention would mean you add a 2nd to get Murray in a little cheaper than Mrazek with (IMO) a higher likelihood of performing well.

So it basically would have been:
Mrazek and a 2nd
FOR
Murray, a 7th and ~700k in cap space.

Worth a shot making that swap. This one feels a hell of a lot more lateral at best when factoring in the $900k in additional AAV used on Murray.

We need the 3rd and 7th so we can pay a 1st to dump Murray next year and still have picks.

 

[Leafin']

Lots of people (especially former NHLers turned pundits) liked the Foligno trade and thought he was exactly what we needed.

Same pundits that call our guys overrated while wearing a leaf sweater. Only to turn around and praise them like Hyman when they go elsewhere.

That trade was shit.

 

[Leafin']

Glasses and his bean counter are smart so once again I will give him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise on the money situation.

The next move may not be the right one but they have the cap side of things down to decimal on any given day

They don’t deserve any benefit of doubt. None. Shit move after shit move.

 

[Artnes]

From a cap balancing perspective they do

Not only that, they were screaming all year that Foligno was the missing piece.

 

[hockeylover]

Doesn't sound like we should expect a ton but so curious which other goalie we're after.

 

[leafman101]

Dubas said they will bring in bargain bin forwards to compete with kids for depth spots. So I would think that means more than just ZAR, but likely a few Amadio/Vesey/Buntings. Guys willing to take less than $1 mill.

 

[BG]

I guess multi-year retention is hard to come by - and would cost more than what we've witnessed in deadline deals.

But I'd love to see if anyone has figured out the dollar-value of a pick when it comes to retention.

Matt Murray was elite with Pittsburgh, except for his last 3 years there

Maybe it's not the player but the passage of time?

 

[BG]

But he wasn't elite in Pittsburgh when he was let go, he was sub .900

 

[MindzEye]

Murray was .899 in his last season with the Pens

If we're going to cling to something, cling to his health. Conkys can take a long long time to feel "right" from. He had a few in Pittsburgh and then another one last year that ended his season.

 

[Artnes]

Maybe Sanford and Elkin help him find his form again

 

[uncus]

Becoming worried that Kall and Woll will be an item for awhile this season.
