Maple Leafs provide a major update on Matt Murray and when he could play next
There's no question that experiment former Toronto Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas tried to pull off with Matt Murray was a failure. Now, the Leafs have announced that Murray has been sidelined for another long period of time after having surgery.
"The @MapleLeafs announced today that goaltender Matt Murray underwent successful bilateral hip surgery. He is expected to miss a minimum of 6-8 months." Toronto Maple Leafs PR
Murray will miss all of the 2023-24 season, which is the final year reamining on his contract. It wouldn't really be surprising for the 29-year-old to announce his retirement after that.
Murray won two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins (2016, 2017). However, his stats started dropping after that. He signed a four-year, $6.25 million per season contract with Ottawa as a free agent in October of 2020. It did not go well. Then Toronto GM Kyle Dubas picked up Murray in a trade in September of 2022, with Dubas hoping Murray could turn it around. Murray played 26 regular season games with Toronto last season before getting injured again.
