Things have been pretty sedate in here today, but just wait. It'll get ugly.

That first line though was hilarious. "Do you trust him on and off the ice?" "...I certainly trust him on the ice..."

yea id low ball them given their desperation for off loading salary. Plus hes really not even that good. If you're going to move the first it should be for someone better.
- Sabresfan-365

Agree.
A first in a package for Lindholm, sure. But he's not going to be moved.

Well first, he(Murray) got a contract extension and second see my post above. He also went on to say, yeah, he's getting help, blah blah blah, but overall he was positive, which I'd expect nothing else. But was still funny.

For Lindholm I'd go 2 1sts, but not until 2019 and 2020. And maybe 2 2nds this and next year, just so they get something up front to sell to their fans.

the thinking be those two firsts will be worth less than 17 ad 18 i assume? I dunno I think hes worth way more than that and unless you're giving up a core player you're the obvious winner in any deal for him. He really is that good.

So the Eichel injury is giving Murray a pass on this year and that is why they extended him?

I'd say he did pretty well on the Risto deal. That couldn't have hurt.

I figured he'd be extended, but I don't get the rush. What, would Murray like refuse to scout players or make trades without an extension?

Yes.

I totally agree, he's probably worth the 4 1sts. But the opportunity cost just isn't worth it to acquire him for his actual value. If that makes any sense.

No. Was asked, Murray deferred. Claimed he didn't read the contract. lol But he'll totally let us know when he figures it out.
