Buyout window is closed for Detroit. We have no players going to arbitration. We already have 3 goalies. Husso, Reimer and Lyon.

Did not know that.

You couldn't buy Murray out even if you HAD someone in arbitration: the second buyout window can only be used on players who were on their team's reserve list as of the last trade deadline.

This too.

So can Toronto even buy out Murray?

Yes, as long as Samsonov gets an award or the Maple Leafs agree on a contract with him. But not if Toronto trades the rights to Samsonov before his case is resolved. (Here, "reserve list" means the entire roster.)

Yeah I figured that after my comment. I misinterpreted your statement. But still learned slightly more from this comment so thank you.

Well Detroit not being able to buy out makes that trade scenario moot. But this would be the package that I would send to get someone to take Murray on

Don't Stop Trelivin'

Just a small town guy
Livin' in Shanny's lies
He took the Maple Leafs team not going anywhere
Just a sleazy ploy
Getting Holl to sign with Detroit
He took the Dubie train, Willie ain't going anywhere
Bertuzzi in a no vax room
Signings of Reaves, Domi and Klingberg doom
For a while they can share the fights
The Cup drought goes on and on and on and on
Stanley's waitin'
Up and down Bay Street Boulevard
Mitchy's shadow searchin' in the playoff night
Goal lights, Game 7 people
Playin' just to find Tiger Williams' emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the Toronto night
Workin' hard to not get Sammy's net filled
Everybody wants an Auston Bieber thrill
Run it back and roll the dice
Just one more time
Some they'll win, some they'll lose
Some are traded to sing Nashville blues
Whoa, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Steve Simmons is waitin'
Up and down Phil's Hot Dog boulevard
His shadows searchin' in Joey Chestnut's Coke or Sprite
Sundin, Muskoka 5 people
Livin' just to find Wendel's and Dougie's emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the 1993 night
Don't stop Trelivin'
Hold on to that 1967 feelin'
Tie Domi fights, Waffles people
Don't stop Trelivin'
Hold on
Salming, Jeff Finger people
Don't stop Trelivin'
Hold on to that 1960s feelin'
Babcock, Ballard people

Was hoping Detroit would have done this trade to swap 2nd Ed pick for TOR first rounder, but Trev had to have Easton Cowan!
