I just don’t understand why they didn’t bring in a third team and pay the premium for double retention

Leafs fans were really out here claiming Toronto was gonna get Connor Brown and Matt Murray at 50% retention and Ottawa was going to take Jake Muzzin. I’m a big fan of Pierre Dorian rn lmao.

Two years of retention is expensive

So let me get this straight. Dubie wouldn't pay Jack Campbell 5 mil AAV but will pay Matt Murray 4.7 mil? Makes total sense. 🤔

Especially on a contract like Murray’s that is super back loaded

LMAO. seeing all the mock trades these past days I know how upset leafs fans are they didn't get anything good + Ottawa didn't even take on 50%.. HAHAH SICKOS + SENS'D +L + ratio

This is hilarious. Let the bidding war for Matthews begin

Dorion fleeced Dubie.

I’m assuming the 2 year term is a big deal. Expires the same year as Matthews and Nylander not to mention brodie and Muzzin. freeing up space for re-signing and gives lots of options.

Still a head scratcher move though

Leafs fans about to be asking for your favorite teams entire roster at 50% retained. You also have to take Jake Muzzin and Matt Murray too.

wait, are you saying it's a bad thing that the leafs got Murray and picks for free instead of giving up a top 4 defender for him?

Don't forget about Holl and Kerfoot and anyone else they don't want. This is hilarious.

What a homer lmao. I actually like Murray enough that I could c him bouncing back. But making this trade for him seems insane!

Jake Muzzin shouldn’t be in your Top four unless ur looking to set a new record for first round losses

hey, im right there with you with this being a risky trade at best and bad probably, but the amount of revisionist history going on here is just magical. There were dozens of threads from people saying the leafs would give up actual value for Murray, and this isnt that. But yes, the Leafs fans were the irrational ones who were wrong

Jake Muzzin is a top 4 D on like 28 teams in the league

Dude the number of Connor Brown and Matt Murray at 50% trades I saw were insane. Only trades I saw where Toronto sent assets to Ottawa was when Ottawa retained 50% and those were pretty rare.

On the isles depth chart he would be behind Sebastian Aho and ahead of Zdeno Chara.

It's always the ones who call other people homers isnt it?

That’s obviously a joke lmao. You do like to call other people homers tho lol.

nah, i just let em talk themselves into that label

Dude even you have to admit this is a major **** up lol. This is like trading Carl Grundstrom, Sean Durzi and Tobias Bjornfoot for Jake Muzzin level bad.

yeah, it's almost like this was a bad trade and the Jake Muzzin trade was for a top pairing defender and they are nothing alike.

I’m sorry what? Jake Muzzin isn’t a top pair guy lmao.

he was when the trade happened, and for over 2 years after the trade was made, now he's just a number 3, but that's just aging. I mean, it's not like Dubas traded a defender in the middle of his prime for a pair of 2nds because he had to have Matt Martin and Leo Komarov
