Could be worth seeing if a change of scenery sparks something. He's an RFA right? 1 or 2 year deal. Pretty sure you'd basically get him for free if you take Barfsad

How much of a cap hit for a question mark? Is he better than Ullmark at this point? I'd have to say not.

I'm not sure what his QO is.

I think moving on from Hutton and trying something new could be good. I'm not saying this is a good trade, but it's an idea

Bullsh!t.

He was leaning down reaching for something.

I've watched the video 10 times. People don't get into cars that way.

Imagine trying to justify someone getting shot by police for no reason.

He made $3.75 last year. So what is a QO, 10%?

Can he bounce back? His sv % was under 90%. Yikes.

Can Hutton bounce back? Do they put faith in the surgery correcting his issues?

Is Ullmark ready to take 50-60 games, in which case do we really want a $4 million dollar backup in Murray?

Many questions.

But, surely there are times when people can’t or are unable to do that. Like a person with special needs, an autistic person, a person on drugs, a person suffering from a head injury. People in a heated state.

Surely you can see that these situations warrant caution, rather than pretending to be chuck norris and blasting people.

It is really easy for you to say too bad, you should have stopped. Now you get to die.

Same thing with you stubbornly saying no one gets in a car that way. Maybe you don’t but you are going to shoot someone for tripping or reaching for their phone?

You were not there so to come on here and go off saying case closed is pretty dumb.

Should the cops be cautious? Follow procedure? Attempt to de-escalate? Of course. Kill a guy or shoot him 7 times in the back?

4. Matt Murray | G | Age 26 | RFA
Considering the Sabres’ struggles in net for the better part of the last five years, Murray’s name has been brought up quite a bit as a potential trade target. Fellow RFA netminder Tristan Jarry (who is all but cemented as the full-time starter) is likely to be retained by the Penguins, meaning that Murray is virtually destined to wear a different sweater in 2020-21.

There are two positives here for the Sabres. Several teams (including the New York Rangers, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Arizona Coyotes to name a few), will be looking to trade a goalie this offseason. That could lead to an oversaturated market, and subsequently, a lower cost of acquisition.

The other good thing for Buffalo is that, following a very poor contract-year showing from the 26-year-old, he probably won’t receive a hefty raise from his current salary of $3.75 million AAV.

Now for the bad news. On top of a very pedestrian (and career-low) save-percentage of .899 in 2019-20, Murray posted some of the worst underlying goaltending metrics in the NHL. Of the 48 goalies who played for at least 1,500 minutes last season, Murray ranked dead-last with a GSAx rate of -23.07.



To make matters worse, he faced the second-lowest xGA rate on the 48-goalie list, meaning that his poor results came in a relatively easy workload. There are options on the goaltending market this offseason. In addition to the handful of teams looking to sell, there are UFA options in Aaron Dell and Cam Talbot who would only cost the Sabres money (less of it, at that), and not one of their precious few trade assets.

I would say no to both. I have little faith in Hutton bouncing back, but $8m combined for the juice and murray basically nukes additional roster moves.

I rescind the proposal

I get your point here, and agree with it. On Miller though, he's played enough playoff games to say otherwise. I think he's 3rd pair on a good defensive team.

need to call the NYR about George (not going to try spelling that)..

isn't the +10% QO only for contracts of a $1m or less?
I don't believe there is an auto increase requirement for those over $1m

Been saying that for awhile, did a trade for him on my armchair GM team on Cap Friendly awhike back.

Would like Raanta as well if they could take Hutton back

George could be expensive I think. He is by far the best goalie possibly available in the trade market

When he’s healthy he’s a very good 1B option.
