I actually don't mind Matt Murray as a goaltender. His fundamentals are very sound and he has that Stanley Cup pedigree
If they sign Murray or Klingberg I will start watching a different team.
Matt Murray hasn't been decent for a long time. Factor in he's always injured.
If you bring back Murray its because Jones is not coming back and it would be for league minimum.. Same with Klingberg. Or bring them in on a PTO
Those two would be stupid
Murray and Klingberg can only come back on League MIN on a 2 way deal. Prove it deal kind of thing. Good show Mark 🏒
4.5 ×4 for bertuzzi 3.8 x 3 for Domi would be Ideal.
Bertuzzi is who I would want way more then Domi. But they will need to give Tyler term at 5.5-6m a year
But Murray plays without a glove, just like Marner plays without a heart.
Klingberg was horrible unless he turns it around then hard no
Leafs have to settle for scraps, because of these no move contracts. How is this any improvement by bringing back Murray and Klingberg? Marlies players would be a better option.
Hey Mark, this is the first time I've heard about this injured veterans provision. Before you laid it out I thought there was no way either of these former top tier players would be back.
Now that you've educated me, I can't see why the Leafs wouldn't give them another shot, there's literally no downside. If they turn it around and start playing like they used to, GREAT you have two stars on the cheap. If they don't work out you haven't lost a bundle of money and you carry on as if you were normal!!

Great, informative report Mark.
Sometimes you young cheeky beggars can teach us old curmudgeons ( 63 this August…don't worry, I'll send a list of gifts you can buy me)something new!!

Even at the league minimum, I wouldn't sign them. Roster spots are more valuable than injury-prone players.
Murray and Klingberg??? Another year of meh!
It's a joke if you sign them not interested in seeing them on our team. Focus on bring back Bert and Domi not these guys that play a game or two and done for the season
The cap hit caused by the performance bonuses can also be deferred to the following year which is ideal for a Leafs team that will be tight to the cap until JT is off the books.
Mark if Murray and klingberg come back to the leafs i would puke
Bertuzzi 4.5 million 3 years domi 4 million 3 years
Having Matt Murray and Joe Woll as your tandem is a recipe for disaster. Go out and get someone that isn't made of glass.
I'll take Martin Jones over Matt Murray tyvm
No way. Leafs need a bonafide goaltender! Leafs need solid defencemen not broken players.
The cap blues.
Plenty of teams will over pay for Bertuzzi including the Leafs. Sure he's a playoff guy, but there isn't enough room to improve the team when Bertuzzi signs for 6 million. Domi might take a team friendly contract. I'd be focusing on Edmundson.
