So tell us, why does team trade for 4.7m Murray, and why wouldn't they just sign a cheaper Korpisalo or Raanta?

It's never going to be Buffalo

nice question. what if Murray proves himself though???????? Nice Saves percentage, Goals against and doesn't get injured??????????????????????

They do need a goalie but STILL I am using them as an example

Any team that would trade for Murray would offer Korpisalo and Raanta more money than you have.

I do agree but who would give Raanta more money. Look at his age of 33 and his previous cap hit of 2mil.

Yeah, and maybe they'll look at this:
28 games, 2.45 GAA, 0.912 save %; 13 games, 2.25 GAA, 0.922 save %; 23 games, 2.31 GAA, 0.907 save %.
Admittedly, this has been behind the Carolina defense, but those are still strong numbers for a $2 million goalie.

Problem is: hes always injured AND unreliable.

At 4.7mil hes an backup who's too unreliable to be a backup.

Ottawa retained 33% and gave TOR a 3rd to be rid of him, hes constantly injured this year and suddenly hes worth a 4th?

Just pointing it out, I know you used Buffalo as an example but many many people have been trading him to Buffalo over the past couple of months.
