The Senators receive future considerations. The Leafs get the veteran goaltender, a third\u002Dround pick in 2023, and a seventh\u002Drounder in 2024.
Matt Murray will be packing his bags and headed to the other side of the Battle of Ontario after Ottawa Senators’ general manager Pierre Dorion sent the veteran goaltender to the Leafs with a third-round pick in 2023 and a seventh-round pick in 2024.Ottawa also retained 25% of the $15 million remaining on Murray’s deal for the next two seasons. The Leafs will pay $11.25 million and the Senators will pick up the other $3.75 million.
The indications are that the Leafs didn’t finalize the trade until they did a full checkup of Murray and received clearance from their medical staff. There was talk he spent at least part of Sunday with Toronto doctors so they could get a first-hand look. “He’s also very excited as he begins the next chapter of his hockey career with the Toronto Maple Leafs.”Article content
The Senators knew the first couple of years with Murray could be difficult while the rebuild was going on around him, however, he just hasn’t been reliable. The decision to send him to Belleville after he cleared waivers in late November last season was the low point for Murray. The Senators would love to bring Giroux home. He grew up in Orleans, played across the Ottawa River for the Gatineau Olympiques, and spends all of the off-season here. There’s talk the Florida Panthers want him back, however, they would have a tough time making the numbers work.The club would still like to acquire a right-shot defenceman that can play in the top four.
