Key points:
- Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Matt Murray is out indefinitely and will be placed on long-term injured reserve (LTIR) prior to the start of the 2023-24 season.
- Murray played 26 games with the Leafs last season, going 14-8-2 with a 3.01 goals against average and .903 save percentage.
- The Leafs needed to make space under the salary cap for new one-year deals and Murray's $4.7 million cap hit was too heavy, so he will be placed on LTIR.
