<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RoughRunner</b></div><div>For those saying the double retain means they will make another move, they don't have the cap space. On deadline day they will send down Robertson and afterthey will waive Jones and call Robertson back up. The only way they can make more space before the deadline while leaving enough space for Jarnkrok to come back is to waive/trade any of Gregor/Reaves/Giordano/Lagesson/Timmins before the deadline. It looks like they want to keep Reaves as he has been contributing more lately, then Lagesson and Timmins are too valuable as injury depth. That leaves Giordano, who could pull a Spezza and threaten to retire if claimed, and Gregor. It doesn't seem like they want to put Giordano through waivers even though he would clear, and I guess they want to keep Grogor around in case of injuries... so that's it, this is the roster. I personally would have gotten rid of Gregor so that you have more space for a better players than Lyubushkin but they didn't want to do that. Part of me thinks with Giordano going down tonight, and McCabe playing while banged up, they wanted to complete this trade before they announced any injuries and teams drove up the prices knowing they were in a bind... <img class="for_img" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GHk-FvUW8AARlmZ?format=png&amp;name=large" alt="GHk-FvUW8AARlmZ?format=png&amp;name=large"></div></div>

That's a 25 man roster...

And the other move part comes with the Leafs still being able to fit Libby under the cap without double retention

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juice</b></div><div>https://theathletic.com/4736260/2023/08/01/maple-leafs-samsonov-murray-salary-cap/

Great article by Mirtle here on the Murray situation. Biggest take away for me that I didn't realize:

<em>"Murray stood to lose $2.67 million of the $8 million remaining in salary if he was bought out. It’s highly unlikely he would be able to recoup that as a free agent, not with every team relatively settled in goal and tight against the cap. At best, because of his health, he was likely looking at a near-league minimum contract and a move to a situation where he would potentially be battling for a job in the NHL"</em>

Because his original contract was heavily backloaded (32 percent of the salary in the final year of the deal), the amount he would get from a buy-out vs agreeing to be injured and sitting on LTIR and collecting his full paycheck is $2.67m. That's a pretty big incentive to fake hurt all year</div></div>

My biggest takeaway from that article:

“The Leafs didn’t need to go through a full arbitration hearing in order to activate the second buyout window, so we can throw that out as a theory for why they went through with it.”

If you were not going to or able to buyout Murray, why even go to arbitration with Samsonov. I’m sure they were hoping to get that number less than 3.55 but know you just walk him right to FA where if he proves himself again you are looking at a number in the high 5’s on a 4-5 year deal.

So instead of getting him on a 2-3 year deal (a 2 year deal would have been perfect so it expires when Woll’s does) at a 4.25-4.5 deal we could very well be looking for a new #1 goalie again unless Woll takes the next steps.

Pretty short sided IMO on Treliving. And I realize the argument from some fans is “oh we didn’t have the cap to do it” well it’s going to be really awko-taco IF Holmberg and Timmins are out playing Kampf and Klingberg next year. Cause that could be 6.55 mil that could have been spent better.
