Salary Cap: The Guds days are gone, now it's time to look forward

Because I don't trust him to get any less inconsistent or injury prone and if he regresses you want to put that money ANYWHERE else.

Everyone afraid of getting a worse goalie in the future,, why aren't you afraid of Murray BEING that worse goalie?

8mil for only 3 years would shut him up enough through what's pretty much the end of Sid/Geno, so it'd be what it is. You can revisit a moderate raise or a for sure ditch him after that...vs being stuck at 8 for FIVE more years.

I'm also fairly confident the cap increases will not be as lucrative as predicted.

Murray's not inconsistent now. He's basically had one bad season in his career. We're also coming up on a full calendar year without an injury for him.

I'm also not sure why you're saying 8 million would "shut him up," as if Murray had ever given any indication that he wanted big money or to hold the team over a barrel.
