The Toronto Maple Leafs head into the most important off-season in team history with contract extensions for William Nylander and Auston Matthews as the main priority.

The Toronto Maple Leafs off-season to date has been insane – they were set to bring back GM Kyle Dubas, then they fired him.

After that, they hired Brad Treliving, and he brought in Shane Doan.

The Marlies front office and coaching staff was fired, and Jason Spezza quit.   The Leafs Twittersphere has been dominated by talk of trading a big name, and of course, the coach may or may not get fired.

However, on very important move the Toronto Maple Leafs must make is one that is getting put on the backburner of many people’s minds, and that is what to do with Matt Murray.

Former general manager Kyle Dubas acquired Matt Murray and the two remaining years of his contract, along with a third-round pick in this draft and a seventh-round pick in 2024, with Ottawa also retaining just over $1.56 Million.

Murray. had a good season – when he played. Unfortunately, he was injured much of the time and did not play in the playoffs.

What the organization now has is a 29-year old often injured goalie who has a $4.69M cap hit going into the 2023-24 season.

So, the question is what do you do with Murray?
