    Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Murray fan but it's not like he came to Ottawa without a pedigree to some extent. He should be in his prime years as a goalie and Ottawa thought they were getting that leadership and backstop. He hasn't played well but the team in front of him hasn't been great either.
    Between 2017-2020 (IE the 3 years between when Pittsburgh won their second cup) Matt Murray had a -24.6 goals saved above expected and a -4.1 WAR, with a 0.909 Sv%, so he arguably had to show them that he didn't completely suck, but he definitely had to show them a lot more to be the 6th highest paid goalie in the league.

    What is Ottawa's plan when it comes to a compete window? They some young pieces and should be competitive in two years?

    Murray isnt the answer but maybe Filip Gustavsson is. G is only 23 and coming into his own. You just have to wonder how many wins can Gustavsson get with the squad in front of him.

    I like Gustavsson. I think they should look to keep developing him and the young guys and hopefully they can begin to contend in about 1-2 years.
