Description
It only cost Ottawa a 3rd to dump Murray last year as well as other awful deals like Zaitsev and Marc Staal didn’t cost 1sts to dump, so why Murray exactly? Steve Mason in 2018 only cost Armia and a 4th as well

    Because it's the Leafs and anytime we need to dump someone the automatic cost is 3 first round picks supposedly

    This is exactly how I was going to start my response.

    "...we won't believe otherwise until we see it!!!"

    It's also because fans of rebuilding teams expect too much when "weaponizing" cap space, they see some crazy deals happening and take that as the standard and often ignore the intrinsic details of each case.

    In general I could see one of 3 scenarios

    1. Leafs convince Murray to go to Robidas Island (LTIR retire)

    2. Perform a similar trade to Mrazek

    3. Trade Murray for another bad deal like Bailey or Lebanc in a 1 for 1

    Now there may be a way to package him off like what LA did with Quick where they paid a 1st for Gav and a 3rd for Korp and somehow got rid of 5.8mill Quick for nothing
