RWJC Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Sens G Murray declines to waive NTC for Sabres Per TSN While the Ottawa Senators and Buffalo Sabres had worked out a trade for Matt Murray, the goaltender will be staying put for now. Murray has the Sabres on his 10-team no-trade list and declined to waive for the move. The proposed trade would have seen the two teams flip first-round picks, with the Sabres moving up No. 7 for the No. 16 overall selection, with the Senators also retaining salary. Murray has been limited to just 47 starts over his first two seasons in Ottawa since signing a four-year, $25 million contract with an average annual value of $6.25 million. The 28-year-old recorded a .906 save percentage and 3.05 goals-against average in 20 games this past season while missing significant time with an upper-body injury. TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports that the Toronto Maple Leafs, who are scouring the goalie market, have 'poked around' on Murray. Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia adds Murray would agree to be traded to Toronto, and points to the Arizona Coyotes and Chicago Blackhawks as other teams who could have interest.

It'll be interesting to see what he manages to do now that he doesn't have the worst owner in professional sports handicapping the franchise.

Elias Pettersson Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Imagine a player who is playing in Ottawa and rejects a trade to Buffalo. I mean if Ottawa is where you go to die as a player what exactly is Buffalo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I'm calling shenanigans. No freaking way that Murray is worth the move from 16th to 7th, even with money retained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
