From sunhornby: Future is unclear, but Maple Leafs brass Brad Treliving and Sheldon Keefe hard at work.
Matthews, who has another year on his deal, has a no-movement clause that kicks in July 1, so Treliving will want to confirm his intent to stay rather than rush a shopping excursion for Matthews around the whole league.With buyouts permissible as of Friday, the Leafs would have an opportunity to move on from Murray and clear some space and set up a goaltending tandem of Ilya Samsonov and Joseph Woll. The Murray savings theoretically gets channeled to restricted free agent Samsonov.
But Murray, who lost a strong ally when his former Soo Greyhound GM Dubas was fired, would not be a cheap transaction. At $4.687 million US next season, the Leafs would have to pay Murray two thirds salary and carry the rest as a cap hit for two seasons.Article contentFurther savings could be realized by not bringing back bottom six forwards or defencemen who’ve been with the team two or more years and are headed to unrestricted free agency. That list is led by Kerfoot who made $3.
An intriguing name was added to the board this week when the Carolina Hurricanes indicated Brett Pesce will be available if they can’t sign the highly rated two-way blueliner to a new deal. At $4.025 million, he would upgrade many teams, but the Leafs would have to trade a contract. A link might be with William Nylander as part of a package, a scorer the Canes could use being so near their own Cup aspirations. Nylander is the lowest paid of Toronto’s expensive Core Four with a year to go at $6.
