Putting Matt Murray on the LTIR Is Legit and It Hurts the Senators Too!

The Toronto Maple Leafs solved their biggest problem (Matt Murray) and did one over on their biggest rival at the same time.

This week, the Toronto Maple Leafs announced that they were placing frequently injured goalie Matt Murray on the LTIR, which basically gets the team out of his nearly $5 million cap-hit.

The Leafs now have two solid starting goalies (arguably the best pairing in the league) for roughly what they were going to be paying Matt Murray.

To put it another way, the Leafs just cut the cap hit of their most important position in half.
