Even Jeremy White and Mike Schopp, who have praised Murray for literally every little thing he's done had an issue with his comments yesterday. - sbroads24
This is asinine.
Read the full quote - not just the headline - and tell me what's wrong with it. |

I know I will end up right about him.
In the end, he will not know how to get out of his own way unfortunately for this fan base. - BuffaloHardHat
I wish we could gamble against one another.
I know this is a repeat. |

It's ok to not love every little thing he does.
It sets you up to be less dissapointed when you find out that he really isn't perfect. |

I won't be disappointed when it turns out he's imperfect: I've seen way too much to ever think that about anyone.
But it bothers me equally to see somebody criticized for something they didn't even do: the soundbite that people are bothered over is one clause of an otherwise very balanced statement that was quite supportive of Eichel.

Anyone who just read (red) the headline would think Murray was drunk last night, but his actual quote sounded pretty damn reasonable.
"We're disappointed not to get (the) first (pick), but we're happy with second. (There are) two franchise-changing guys in this draft. We drafted a center last year. We're going to draft a center again," Murray said. "You need to be strong down the middle."
"Knowing you have an 80 percent chance going in not to win, this is what you expect," he said.
The Sabres GM said the team has no plans to trade the No. 2 pick. Murray believes Eichel can contribute right away.
From ScoreMobile.
Nothing there to make Eichel want to stay in school. - Der Kaiser
Bump.
Tell me why anyone ought to have an issue with this statement. In formulating your response, address the fact that Murray's quote is made in reply to a question asking for the franchise's reaction to the draft lottery.

Sure. But the point is that it should have been in place. It's bad to have one team holding 3 consecutive #1 picks. Even more troubling is that you're still a bottom 5 team. - Khymlev13
Yeah? Ah well. Do some research and try to wrap your head around why. I would suggest not using HB as a reference guide. |

You're acting like the player we're going to get is going to turn out like Marek Zagrapan.
Seriously, chill. Eichel is going to be a hell of a player. I'm super excited he's going to be in blue and gold. |

If research is just to clarify how inept your management is i'll save myself the time. |

Most of the criticism I read about Mac T belongs to Lowe or Tambellini....not sure if you know who did what. How much poop should Murray take for Darcy? |

Just like you don't know when to get out of your own way. I love how you have yet to reply to my post about how Darcy never over paid for players...
For some reason you have Darcy on a petistal. Give me something logical other than your feelings I'd love to read it |

If Edmonton is smart they would gut our team first get two of our very good prospects. Plus or two first
Then they trade Jack Eichel to Arizona for OEL plus their prospects and first etc
Edmonton would build their team like that - gerbe75pts
Arizona isn't trading OEL for Jack Eichel. That's a ridiculous suggestion. |

There is nothing wrong with it at all. Why would you want to finish 2nd at anything? He rightfully stated the worst team should pick 1st. Draft lotteries are stupid. It's even more stupid that they changed the odds after last season just to make it moe likely the worst time wouldn't get McDavid. |

no post bashing. mact only traded dubs. he didn't make any of the other moves. but the dubs was a miss.
but they werent bad picks by any means anyways. just conventional wisdom that's abit misguided imo. some of what you said had validity. a lot of was stuff you heard some blogger or something say and it somehow turned into fact.
typical for hb - Ihateallofu
False as I don't read anything on here but a few bloggers and the Oilers guys were never one of them.
I made my opinions based off my own two eyes.
Lowe and Tambi shoulder most of the blame but IMO MacT isn't a good GM. |
