“Without a doubt, Matt Murray will be our No. 1 goalie this year,” Senators general manager Pierre Dorion exclaimed in an interview. “I’ve spoken publicly that [goalie] Anders Nilsson has had, still has symptoms from a concussion suffered in December, which is unfortunate.

He can’t do stressful physical activities. So at this point in time, you know we’ve been working on this trade with [Penguins GM] Jim Rutherford, who was great to deal with, and we were able to pull the trigger this morning.”

The 26-year-old Murray achieved a record of  20-11-5 with a 2.87 goals-against average during the last season, with a 2.87 goals-against average, an .899 save percentage, and one shutout.

With the signing of Murray in the bag, the Senators have confirmed that 39-year-old goalie Craig Anderson would not be offered a new contract for next season. While Anderson won back to back Stanley Cup titles in 2016 and 2017, he shared his goaltending duties with Tristan Jarry this past season. With Anderson approaching retirement, the Senators were in need of a fresh talent such as Murray.

With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic still proving to be a cause for concern for the NHL, the draft will be conducted entirely online, with each team being represented by staff members who will be connected to the event from their own draft rooms while remaining in their respective geographic areas.

Each team’s representatives will be given an allotted time limit during which to announce their team’s draft picks via the NHL network.

This contingency plan has received ample support from hockey professionals, among them being Judd Brackett, the director of amateur scouting for the Minnesota Wild.

According to Brackett: “Unfortunately, we won’t be able to get all our amateur staff together because of border closures and travel restrictions.

But we are going to have feeds and whether it’s Zoom calls or Webex, we’ll have the ability to have them front and center and available. Being able to have the visuals in the room, they are absolutely going to partake (in the process), even though they’re not physically present.”

Left-wing Alexis Lafreniere of Rimouski in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League is expected to be the number one draft pick of the New York Rangers, who have been awarded the first pick by winning the Second Phase of the NHL Draft Lottery.
