The Toronto Maple Leafs managed to extend their playoff hopes against the Florida Panthers, thanks to an outstanding performance by goaltender Joseph Woll.
While goaltender Matt Murray was available if needed, the team opted to start Woll. This decision has raised questions among Leafs fans about Murray's future for the upcoming season, particularly considering he has one year remaining on his current contract worth $6.25 million.
Hockey Insider Frank Seravalli, known for his work at the Daily Face-off, recently discussed Murray's future. Seravalli speculates that Murray may end up on long-term injured reserve (LTIR), a tactic frequently employed by General Managers to address salary cap constraints.
Notable players like Mike Smith, Carey Price, and Shea Weber have been placed on LTIR, and it is anticipated that Leafs General Manager Kyle Dubas will add Murray to that list next season.
