Will Matt Murray be suiting up for the enemy in the Battle of Ontario next season?
There has also been discussions with the Edmonton Oilers, Washington Capitals and the Arizona Coyotes among others, but Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas and coach Sheldon Keefe have a history with Murray from their days together with the OHL’s Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.Article content
There was a buzz at the Bell Centre that a deal may get completed to send Murray to the Leafs before the draft ended. There was talk circulating that Toronto wanted to take a closer look at Murray’s medical records before signing off on a trade. “Matt is doing great,” Dorion said. “He pushed hard at the end of the year to play for us and at the world championship. We decided as an organization, he just needs to get healthy for next year. I’ve been at the rink most days for the last month and he’s been there.
There has been speculation on social media that if the deal does happen there’s a chance right-shot defenceman Justin Holl comes back to Ottawa in the trade. He has one year left at $2 million but it’s not known if Holl has even been discussed. Say what you want about Murray’s play, he’s still a two-time Stanley Cup champion and could be worth the risk for a contender like the Leafs.
