CHI declines, gunna cost more to dump Murray. NYI gave up a 2nd rd pick to dump Bailey

And Bailey was owed 3.5m in actually money where as Murray is owed 8m in cash next year. Owners love cash

buddy, do I have a bridge to sell you

boy I dunno, seems like CHI should probably throw in something extra like Bedard or a couple 1sts. We *are* talking about the honor of paying Matt Murray after all.

Teams don't buy 5th round picks for 6 million which is what you are proposing the Hawks do here. Murray will cost a 1st or a 2nd + for anyone to take him at this point. Better hope your GM has an arbitration hearing up his sleeve so he has a 2nd buyout window.

Might be an easy win for Leafs, but it's an even easier decline for Hawks.

Ilya Samsonov is the only Maple Leaf with arbitration rights. Toronto fans better start hoping that he's going to be co-operative.
