Quoting: RipNasty
You all are likely going to be disappointed once again. Exactly like everyone was when Mrazek didn't cost the Leafs a straight up 1st.
What team can you name that:
A: Needs a goalie to complete a tandem
B: Has ~$4.7M in cap space this summer
C: Is OK devoting that cap space to a backup/1B-type goalie that's unlikely to make 40+ starts
D: Is also OK spending about $6M in real dollars for that $4.7M cap hit
E: Isn't on Murray's 10-team NTC
When you line up how many things that need to go right to get Murray off the Leafs' cap for 2023-24, I can't see how you expect it to be any less than the 3rd rounder OP has offered here. It cost Ottawa a 3rd & a 7th last summer to dump Murray's deal even after they retained 25%; I honestly don't see anything in Murray's numbers that show he's rebuilt much of any value (last season: 20 GP, .906 SV%, 3.05 GAA; this year: 26 GP, .903 SV%, 3.01 GAA.) 3rd-round value feels like the market rate for moving a contract and a player like him in the current league cap environment.
