Agreed. Varlamov / Reimer is the ideal option, but just too expensive.

I mentioned Connor Browns name yes, that's about it.

Again stop putting words in my mouth.

Matt Murray can’t hear you
His ears are plugged with his 2 SC rings😃

Pass on Varlamov
Old, expensive and overrated
Yes to Reimer as backup though

Murray/Reimer 👍

Dubas got this. Last year he traded for a goalie who got injured. This year he traded for one already injured. Takes away the element of surprise

Well Santo says he is part of the haul we’re getting for taking marshmallow head Murray off your hands.

Reimer is a good option, probably not overly expensive in a trade either. Goalies like him existing right now is the perfect example of why the story on Murray has got to be "make it worth our while or beat it".
- joel878

Not a fan of going back to goalies that were run out of town.

Maybe he should pull the rings out, they're throwing off his balance and slowing down his catching hand.

I would say that I don't love Varlamov - but he had the best overall statistics of the goalies we've considered. It's still influenced by Trotz' defensive style on the Islanders, though.

I mentioned that I looked at 74 goalies who had played in 10 or more games last year, and at their individual LD, MD, and HD stats for Goals Saved Above expected, and only 13 goals were positive in all 3 areas:

Shesterkin, Sorokin, Andersen, Markstrom, Kuemper, Saros, Husso, Demko, Quick, Francouz, Varlamov, Raanta and Ullmark.

Even in something like GSAx, you can see team defense heavily influences the goaltender behaviour - because the best defenses allow the weaker HD and MD chances - what it really does is highlight how good Shesterkin, Markstrom, Saros, Husso, Demko, Quick and Ullmark actually were - they were all excellent for their teams.

One is tall and injured with a lot of mental baggage and two Cups. One is short and injured with a lot of mental baggage with some playoff games.

Hardly 2.0!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think there is any likelihood of a Leaf deal for Murray. First he is always injured and is not likely to get off the injury reserve list long enough to sign a contract. Second, he is not very good at stopping pucks when he is healthy. Third, he just a bad fit wherever you try to place him.

Tomorrow is last day for buyouts so players have to be on unconditional waivers today.
- Aaron_85


Not sure if said already but Murray can waive his right to waivers ..his choice. So I'd assume if he's in control of any deal then he's going to waive his right too. Waivers is just to protect the player's right to $$ in the face of a buyout.

Fantastic argument to fire Keefe and replace him with a coach (Trotz) who can elevate the play of the defense and the goaltending.

Pay attention folks this is the A+ answer.

I just don't believe the Leafs should be serious about doing this deal in any manner or form.
