Toronto Maple Leafs acquire Matt Murray, draft picks from Ottawa Senators
This trade was rumored for several days going back to the 2022 NHL Draft, as the goaltender market continues to shrink. The other deciding factor was the parting of ways with goaltender Jack Campbell, who was the Leafs’ starter in 2021-22. There was an interest to reach an agreement with both parties, but the Leafs didn’t want to commit to the five year or more term that Campbell desired.
“We’re thankful for Matt’s contributions and wish him well.” said Pierre Dorion through the Senators communications’ Twitter account.Murray played in 20 games last season, with a 5-12-2 record, a .906 save percentage, and one shutout. He also had a 3.67 goals saved above expected, which ranked 19th in the league among goalies with at least 20 games, and well above Campbell and Petr Mrazek, Toronto’s goalies in 2021-22.
