Yeah he loved the 4th line and healthy scratches last year. Get a clue.
- PassionBucket16


Right because Okposo will end up on the 4th line and a healthy scratch... Give me a break. Maybe Moulson thinks he'll have a bounce back year this year and understands he sucked. Doesn't strike me as the kind of player who back stabs

Sabres are in on Okposo but I'm hearing there's a player on our team telling him not to come: Matt Moulson. Shocking.

If he doesn't understand how he got into that role, he probably needs to learn how to self evaluate in an honest fashion.

There was a report that he was pissed at GMTM for telling the media that he needed to work out more.

See this is where I don't get your rationale.

A guy that was an Assistant GM that liked a player from his earlier days as a scout is absolutely going to like that guy when he becomes a GM. It doesn't just turn off because he works for a different team.

Take ROR for example. Murray liked him when he was the Assistant GM for Ottawa. He was able to trade for him in Buffalo. Should he have not wanted to trade for him because he liked the player when he was working for a different organization?

Now if he greatly overpays then you have a beef but getting on a GM for liking players from organizations he's worked at in the past is kind of counterproductive if you ask me.

- Stripes77

Because it seems like he ignores actual results from the time he liked a player when he scouted them to now.

Like it didn't matter that Lehner had 2 down years and a bad concussion, he liked him a while ago so he's going to get him. It's narrow-minded IMO.

Bobby Ryan isn't the same guy he was 4 years ago. He's turned into a pretty average top 6 player. Murray doesn't care he liked him in Ottawa

YOU were the one saying he was a top 6 earlier...

That's when we had a stacked team.

That makes zero sense. Moulson loves it here.

Just didnt understand why he was on your third pair. Personally I dont think Fowler is on our radar at this point.

Kyle: Matt, what up, how's Buffalo treating ya? I'm thinking about coming over.
Matt: don't do it Brokposo. They're only paying me like 5 mil per and the GM said I'm fat.
Kyle: oh F that. You're not.

How do you know adding him as an average top 6 player doesn't help this team?

What if the package is a win for Buffalo? You are starting to sound bias towards hating every move Murray makes or is even rumored to be making.

I didn't want to split up McCabe and Bogo and if you acquire Fowler he isn't playing on the bottom pair.

Pairing him with a guy like Nelson let's Nelson do what he does best.
