Personally, he can ***** right off.

I'm now a huge Matt Murray fan.  He knows he stinks and that getting him would hurt Buffalo's rebuilding efforts.  Thanks Matt for looking out for us.

There are some rumblings that Sabres Goaltending Coach Mike Bales and Matt Murray did not get along in Pittsburgh , this maybe confirmation of this

Well, at least that shows the Pegulas were willing to spend money and Adams is looking under every rock for potential upgrades in net

Well, that bites.

Don't care about not landing Murray.  Disappointed they don't get 7.

Speaking of Friedman’s podcast, he had an alarmingly bad realization about former Penguins goalie Matt Murray.

He dabbled in some discussion about the Senators using the No. 7 overall draft pick as grease to get a team to take Murray off their hands. In other words, the theory being that the Senators would give up a top-10 draft pick, but only if that team took his hefty $6.25 million contract, too.

Friedman didn’t endorse that idea, nor did he say that such a move is pending. But the fact that this kind of conversation is even possible is a sign of how dramatically Murray has fallen since the 2017 Stanley Cup Finals.

He went from a 22-year-old phenom with two rings on his fingers to being talked about as a forced toss-in on a trade for a top-10 pick.

It seems unbelievable. Until you look at Murray’s numbers. In two years with the Senators, he is 15-25-3, with a .899 save percentage and a 3.23 goals against average.

No, when He was there when Murray was a rookie

I guess Buffalo is no longer linked to Murray.

Before you wasted your time getting "deep into conversations", wouldn't you say to Ottawa's GM and Murray's agent, "We'd like to have him here. Is the feeling mutual? Is he willing to waive his no-trade in order to be here and start for us?"

So Anderson type numbers.

[aristocrat]

He hasn't put up decent numbers in years. Curious choice by him to be that picky on where he goes. Contract wise two years left would have been nice for us.  Good thing Adams realizes we have a need there.

Dodged a bullet here, thank you Matt.

And Kevyn......what in tarnation are you doing?

There is not one team that is good that will take him. Murray is a cap dump. Only bad teams have the extra cap space to take his contract. He's a choosy beggar.

[DarthEbriate]

Good. Just say no to Murray. (Even if it had been #16 to Ottawa for #7 and Murray) -- plus whatever balancing picks to make it work. Let another team take his contract and Hutton-level play.

Getting a 7th overall pick for 13 million.

I didn't see anything about the 7th. I read "an additional asset".
