Chipping a puck off the boards is the laziest play to make as a player. I don't get why so many players constantly try to do so. It's selfish and just a poor decision that more often than not comes back to haunt you. I get when you're dog tired and desperate, but Zubris just literally killed his teams chance to survive .

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

He's great at finding talent yet he passed on tarasenko moved the pick right when tarasenko was right there ( that tells me he never had him in his rankings because there's no way in hell he does not take he's too smart )

He passed on barbashev who was ranked in the top 15 all year

He's too smart of a scout to pass on those players he just doesn't have them in his rankings

For every Tarasenko there are 12 Nikita filatovs. I see where you're coming from and I agree that he shouldn't have a prejudice against Russians but it is what it is. And as a rookie GM he can't afford to miss on a pick or else he's screwed.

I understand Russians can be a risk but you have to take a chance sometimes you can't just completely not draft them

Other then Malkin and his 2 goals in his last 18 games, every single Russian that is tasked with leading his team or being the main guy are all sitting at home right now

Many GMs passed on barbashev. Murray didn't draft players during the tarasenko draft.

He was the main brains of asking for that trade you do know that right He scouted tons of players and he wanted Rundblad Brian Murray is just like him they don't draft Russian players you can see it in the history

So that means you should not draft a Russian because they're sitting at home ?

Malkin is one of the reason why Pittsburgh won the cup last time did you forget that

He wasn't even supposed to be playing in the playoffs let's not forget that

Why are you making such a big deal out of it, who cares as long as he drafts good players and players that make a difference it doesn't matter.

What trade?

Brian Murray was the GM. Tim has two drafts, many teams don't draft Russians during a two year period

Ottawa traded for Filatov.

Your opinion that Murray doesn't like Russians.

Tim Murray was The assistant GM and the scout genius they had a chance to
Draft tarasenko obviously the head scout and Brian Murray have a thing against Russians and obviously did not have him in his rankings . if they did they would've drafted him they're not stupid .. They traded the pick right at the draft right when they were picking for Rundblad
