Yeah, he's got a shot alright

I wonder how we'd react to go lack of defense if we were to trade for him?

89 has delivered some info that turns out pretty well before, and says we have been chasing Hoffman or Stone.

I wonder if O'Reilly was chasing Stone and Hoffman and that's why he crashed into that Timmy Ho's.

O'Reilly wasn't chasing them: the driver was.

Makes a lot of sense. Murray's guy, money issue with current club, good age. May not be a big enough splash for TP though.

Ottawa is unhappy with his overall game, & there's talk they'd rather trade him than go to arbitration

There's the obvious connection to Ottawa with us
Supposedly GMTM was trying to get Hoffman or Stone back when we were trading Stewart

89 has been saying for a while now that "Uncle Brian owes us one"

So I guess we'll see what happens

What makes your think Pegula needs a big splash?

He's an owner. They all want to make a splash. Add 2 years of tanking and 4 total years of bottom 10 finishes. He's going to want to make some noise with the draft in buffalo.

I have no idea where you're getting this from
I'm sure he'd be thrilled if a big deal was made...
But I hardly doubt he's telling Murray he wants a big splash
He really doesn't seem like that kind of owner at all to me
He just wants to win
Don't necessarily need some blockbuster deal for that to happen
Plus,
July1, Stamkos...
There's your big splash

All owners are like that. And it's almost public knowledge that Stamkos is option A. But when they don't get him they may want to make a different splash. Not unlike when they lost out on babcock and went after a different big name instead of just exploring all options (obviously can't prove it was a "name" hire but it sure as hell looked that way).

ROR x2!

That was beautiful.

I think Bylsma was always the fallback.

But was he Murray's fallback or Pegula's?

Games played shouldn't be an issue
Will they beat LA in the 2nd round though?
- jdfitz77

Considering how shiddy they were to be 1 point back with one game in hand out of first place now? I'd say they should be the favorite. Will they get past Chicago/Dallas? I think that's the better question.

Stamkos would happen after the draft

And I disagree with u about all owners wanting a big splash
Winning is what matters

- Sabresfan-365

I would say Pegula.

Obviously, I don't know, but I think that Murray would have gone with an unknown to most, but someone he would have been more familiar with.
