Sabres would have also received a sweetner if Murray waived

Ottawa was more of a mess when they signed him than we are now. This stigma thing is overblown.

Young families and schools , probably being to positive thinking personal reasons keep people from buffalo.

Should be a terrible stigma, 11 years without the playoffs

Kinda a guy kick when one of the teams worse than us , wont waive.

Can the Sabres brass reach out to Murray and sway him?

Maybe with the sens permission?

- Boss34


It’s worth a shot but remember KA’s saying “we want guys who want to be here”

Not waiving means you don’t want to be here, why beg?

He was traded and was a RFA still I believe. So he didn’t have much leverage.

Not sure why Murray nixed the trade. I know it’s “Buffalo” but if he stays in Ottawa, the team did not want him, they may send to AHL again, his cap hit makes him almost untradable.

Do you Matt. Good luck!

Maybe he actually doesn’t want to play a lot in the NHL? Who knows.

Good on KA for trying. But time to move on.

The deal between Ottawa and Buffalo would have included the Sens retaining salary and Buffalo flipping the 16th pick for the 7th.


Didn't care it fell through but after reading this I'm unhappy

After Matt Murray said no.

It’s funny. The team on multiple occasions said they don’t want, you get sent down to the AHL, and then trade you and your say no

I still think their is hope for that trade. Maybe just maybe the media was like “hey this is close”

Then the nhl slapped their peepees to not leak out trades until the draft

Who knows. But the trade I bet can still go down. Have Dahlin. Okposo etc call Matt Murray up and let him know how it is

“We had some discussion but never to the point of asking a player to waive”

That will be the answer to any question to Adams or Ottawa’s GM

“I was never asked to waive to go anywhere” Matt Murray.

This will be to save face most likely.

My guess is they then would’ve flipped 7 and 9 for 2…..

I had that thought yesterday if they were able to get 7 and keep 9.

Cooley please and thank you.

Toronto also has interest in Murray so maybe he wants to wait it out for a better opportunity to win

I agree. That is your basic media speak to not offend anyone.

I still think this trade is possible and still can happen until the pick has been picked or traded for what ever

They don’t have cap space for an 8 million dollar goalie

The Sabres really like gauthier and nazar is my guess.
Take both .... at 7 and 9

Wow, that would have been nice....

Especially when you sprinkle in the eichel pick (16) and turn that into a #2OA.

Sabres open vs. Ottawa and close vs Ottawa both at home.

Murrrreeeee

Edit ( 7 and 9) not 16
