[Philadelphia Collins]

This thread is for us Sens fans to honor Matt Murray for refusing to waive his NMC to go to Buffalo, and then inadvertently landing Alex Debrincat instead like 2 hours later with the 7th



Thank you for saving Pierre from Pierre

Thank you for saving Pierre from Pierre

But wasn't Murray acquired by Pierre? Doesn't that mean Pierre saved Pierre from Pierre?

Pierreception. We need to go deeper.

 

[Sun God Nika]

This is going to be talked about for history.

I think the play Pierre wanted was to trade Murray to go after Giroux for a 3-4 year contract. We get to keep a first and not even really drop too much and get a top line forward for free.

vs

get Debrincat for assets + likely more money.

I can understand why they would have preferred scenario A. Either way something had to be done.

We still need to get Giroux.

we prob dont get Giroux now. it was either or.

Plan A = -7ov but Giroux + 16

Plan B = -7,-39 but Debrincat

If the Sens make the playoffs and the Cat re-signs here long-term he will be talked about as one of the greatest goalies to ever wear a Sens jersey, he should be in the rafters imo

Watch him be healthy all year and post a .934 for us, the absolute King

If Murray is healthy and posts a 934, we're not just making the playoffs, we're making noise when we get there

Dude finally makes a save for the Sens and it's the biggest save in franchise history.

 

[cudi]

this made me laugh out loud

 

[2CHAINZ]

Thank god it was Murray with the NTC and not game 7 Lalime.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Paying us back for 2017.

Paying us back for 2017.

I'd say we're even now.

After more news came out, it's clear it was a 3 way trade.

Murray saved us from losing Greig or Pinto (whom we would have had to add to the 16th to get Debrincat).

Unless it was a lesser prospect, than Murray blocked us BIG time from losing out on free cap for further moves.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Wait...I'm just waking up....were we really going to attach 7th to Murray to move him? Or was that just a really horrible internet rumor?

this is hilarious

And in a few years, looking back on this post, we'll realize how HUGE this is

So Garrioch saying had we traded the 7th overall to Buffalo the Debrincat deal still would have happened. Sens likely would have sent an extra prospect to Chicago to make up the difference. Honestly I would have preferred the Buffalo “pre move” in order to clear the cap space (assuming it wasn’t Grieg or Pinto heading to Chicago).

This shouldn’t be shocking but based on previous comments I think at least one person would be.

Just getting caught up but the Murray to Buf deal is/was speculation right? Is there really that much to believe it was concrete?

Sounds like it was concrete, but part of a 3-way deal that would have landed DeBrincat in Ottawa anyways. Murray nixed it, so Dorion had to fall back to a 2-way deal directly with Chicago.

Gotta say this is a pretty hilarious thread and has amazing memes :

 

[Hale The Villain]

Surprised they couldn't work out Murray going to the Hawks in the DeBrincat trade considering they took on Mrazek soon after for not a whole lot.
