The oilers would have almost 17M in cap space for next season. If they move Kassian and Keith retires ( hopefully) that would put them at 28M.
Ok then I'd say Murray would be a good gamble for them. He wouldn't cost too much to acquire because of AAV
I'd say maybe Klefbom and a pick

Murray has a history of being inconsistent. With that contract you don't take the risk.
Which is mainly due to him being injury prone. Like I already hinted, yes that contract is too high/risky
Also, like I have shown with these stats, his performance in Ottawa has been wildly criticized but it was unjustified for the most part. That had more to do with fans in general not understanding the goaltending position and how "team defense" is directly linked to goalie numbers.
Even then, he has had pretty good stats if you look past the first 7 games with Ottawa (I watched these games and the team was terrible defensively. Any goalie would have been shelled)

I'm not an expert but people have said it is also something with murray's style that makes him particularily risky in the modern NHL.
Well, you could say that I am bit of an expert as I have been a goalie for decades. There's nothing wrong with Murray WHEN healthy. Problem is that he doesn't seem to be healthy all the time... You need to be very athletic to play that position and in great shape. He has had concussion issues and you can tell he had mechanic issues too. No idea what is recurrent or not as I am not a doctor and don't have an access to his file.
But his positioning, his angles, his overall technique, stature, etc, everything is pretty good to great. You'd wish that his glove would be better but frankly, most goalies get scored the most on that "hole"
