Matt Murray was horrible last year, truly awful - and it comes after 17/18 was also a very bad year. There is a definite reason why Murray was moved by Pittsburgh, his game has fallen apart. A guest on the Fan 960 was talking about his game and broke it down to Murray having very poor lateral movement which is getting increasingly exposed.
You also forget Rittich was quite good to start the season, and that his challenges came later in the year...but yeah, Rittich isn’t very good either. There’s a reason we’re in on all the goalies this off-season. We need an upgrade in our top spot.

Murray’s game fell apart beginning in 17/18. He’s just not trending well. He could 100% bounce back with adjustments to his game. Time will tell. I don’t hate the acquisition cost for Ottawa, but I’d be a bit afraid of what type of contract they’ll give him.
