Although this move would help, it&#8217;s still believed that the team would be over the cap by $2.4 million for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Matt Murray: Will He Be Bought Out?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To further alleviate the cap issue, there&#8217;s a chance that goalie Matt Murray might be bought out or traded soon. Murray&#8217;s contract is a burden, with carries with it a value of nearly $4.7 million. The idea of a buyout is mentioned as a way to help the new general manager (GM) Brad Treliving get some breathing room to re-sign Samsonov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Leafs are looking to move on from Matt Murray. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UAmTQ3eLJv\">https:\/\/t.co\/UAmTQ3eLJv<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fX42aPYJAM\">pic.twitter.com\/fX42aPYJAM<\/a><\/p>&mdash; theScore (@theScore) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theScore\/status\/1676030670261428226?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 4, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a trade could be explored, likely the team would have to attach a &#8220;sweetener.&#8221; This would include additional assets or draft picks to incentivize a trade. This approach would be the best because it would help offload Murray&#8217;s contract numbers and create additional salary-cap space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/nhltradetalk.com\/treliving-promises-action-re-build-maple-leafs\/\">Treliving Promises More Action to Re-Build the Maple Leafs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There&#8217;s Still Much to Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team is beginning to take shape since GM Treliving has brought in a couple of great additions. However, one action needs to have another corresponding re-action. The salary-cap numbers are finite and very tight. Maple Leafs fans should expect some movement over the next while as the team settles its roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People will move and people will stay. However, for now, it isn&#8217;t clear who might leave town with Murray if he moves. There&#8217;s still work to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/index.php\/2023\/07\/03\/four-new-things-bertuzzi-brings-maple-leafs\/\">Four Things Bertuzzi Brings the Maple Leafs They Didn&#8217;t Have<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to take Matt Murray&#8217;s salary off their cap space.
