TML? More like FML, amirite? Yet Another Off Season Thread

[Preston]

Can’t buy him out, we need that cap space too badly. If anything it’s giving up a pick to have a second team pick up cap space before him going to final destination (instead of the acquiring team worrying about the pick)

Well I wouldn't say "can't" buy him out. If you can't trade him it's an easy decision. You can't bring him back. I think they'll be able to trade him just fine but if not you eat the ~1m for the next 4 years with the buyout obviously.

Matt Murray makes no sense, but Dubas sucks at goalies and he played in the Soo, so it also makes a lot of sense.

 

[JackBurton]

I know Murray played fantastic for 2 years, but I always looked at his odd, scrawny frame and thought it wouldn't last. He looks homeless.

 

[Preston]

That's exactly the kind of build you want from goalies tho.

But yeah, he's junk.

 

[Preston]

There were some rumors that he struggled with long covid for most of last year. I think that came from Dreger so take it for what it's worth, but I remember him mentioning that a lot of players have struggled with it and he was one of them.

The crack look?

The crack look?

Yes. See: Ryan Miller

This is true. He was a skinny fuck. I just find Murray looks ill. He looks like that movie Mighty Ducks goalie actor that was on crack

They're mostly all skinny lanky aliens quite frankly. Leafs just happened to have the only morbidly obese goalie in the NHL for 5 years.

Brodeur always looked chunky to me, It took Avery to call him out on it. He was still able to bag his wife's sister though.

didn't he suck pre-pandemic too though?

 

[Preston]

Yes for about as long as Gibson has sucked. But long covid would sorta make any return to form completely impossible.

Long covid breaches the space-time continuum and impacts your past self. #Doyourownresearch.

 

[Hoss]

The one thing I like, is he at least uses the same pads as Vasilevsky. If Campbell wore these, a few more pucks would have hit him

 

[Preston]

We don't talk about goalies enough here so I stole this list of potential targets so we can hopefully finally generate some discussion on the topic

I'm tired of saying this, but here goes one last time - find the most expensive goalie and pay him double if he promises to win elimination games.

No, Muzzin.
