Sharing the net with Anton Forsberg, who ended up outplaying the veteran, 2 time Stanley Cup-winning goalie has seen better years.
Murray was excited about being moved to Toronto and with the Maple Leafs being his favorite team as a kid, I'm sure it helps that He's also been a part of the Soo Greyhounds organization, as Dubas seems to love players from there.
Murray's familiarity with coaching staff such as Jon Elkin may end up being a net benefit. The Leafs are in win-now mode, unlike the Senators who are in the process of rebuilding. This trade could revitalize the veteran's stat line and confidence.
Dubas has put a ton of faith in Murray and it Ottawa retaining a portion of salary certainly helps with the Leafs cap situation, it's not what many fans hoped for. Murray is definitely not Jack Campbell or Freddie Anderson, he will have a lot to prove this season.
