OTTAWA – Matt Murray’s time in Ottawa may be short-lived, but the Thunder Bay goaltender has apparently ensured it would last at least one day longer.
The Senators reached a deal with Buffalo to send Murray and the seventh overall pick to the Sabres in return for the 16th overall pick, Ottawa clearly wanting to dump the often-injured goaltender’s salary. Murray, who was 5-12-2 with a 3.05 goals against average and a .906 save percentage in his second season in Ottawa, is still a hot trade topic, with several teams apparently interested in the 28-year-old netminder.
Jack Campbell, the Leafs No. 1 goaltender last season, is an unrestricted free agent and hockey insiders have speculated he won’t return to Toronto. In Edmonton, it’s believed the Oilers brass are looking for an upgrade on 40-year-old Mike Smith, who nonetheless did help lead Edmonton to the Western Conference final.
