I disagree. He orchestrated their tank that got eichel, got O'Reilly for a reasonable price, saw the sabres improve by 27 points despite a lot of injuries. The jury is still out in Kane/Bogo trade and the lehner trade + we'll see what this offseason brings, but to say he's done nothing is a stretch

Murray orchestrated the tank? What's next, Murray told Pegula to buy the Sabres? The tank was set in motion a year before he got here, heck maybe 2 years

Yeah, he tore it down for the tank, without question.
- rmiethaner

He didn't though. He just didn't get better. We were on our way to last with Darcy, he was fired while we were buried in 30th in the Reinhart year

If he over pays for FA's and gives up a lot of prospects and picks in trades that seem to be for a "win now" attitude, I will question if his orders are coming from ownership.
- rmiethaner


Of course his orders are coming from ownership.

I don't hate Murray, and my comment about him knowing only 5% of the league was mostly sarcastic, but people calling him a genius or saying he's the 2nd best GM in the cities history is what I scratch my head about.

I hate that.

I would hope that ownership would trust his judgement on how to win more than theirs.

Holy poop! I just saw the crowd shot outside the arena, there's gotta be 100,000 people out there.

The man who signs the checks gets final say. I'm not saying Pegula is Jerry Jones, but he definitely has his say.

I know, and understand.

But owners think that problems can be solved with a snap of the fingers.

He did kind of save our ass at the trade deadline if he did not make those trades I don't think we would have Jack right now

Because most of their problems can be solved with throwing money at it.

I don't know what this means.

I was talking about the arena in Pittsburgh.



So many people showed up they had to add another site to watch the game about a 15 minute walk from the arena.

Guhle, Estephan, Borgen are already 3 prospects he has brought in recently that may have a shot at the NHL. Hard to find NHL players after the 1st round

Yeah, I get it now, see above.

Maybe that'll teach the Pens not to steal the Sharks opening song.

It's really not that hard to find guys that "have a shot" at the NHL. That's kind of what the draft is for in general

Good points. I'm not a lover of gmtm yet either and do agree that he begins being judged this offseason, but what he's done so far is good. I selfishly didnt like the lehner trade when it happened, ruined my draft day viewing excitement a bit, but I forgave him later in the day with the O'Reilly trade.

Yea but like 20 out of the 200+ players drafted each year actually play in the show. If these players had the years they had this year the previous year no way they make it to rounds 2, 3, and 6 respectively.

Only problem I have with Murray is that he does not have Russians in his rankings That's the only problem I have with him
