Holy s, hopefully KA figures out a way to get that done. Geez, that would be a great deal.

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

Send in Krueger Synergy, maybe his special 1on1 sessions will make him Waive.

I feel pretty good calling that trade yesterday. 16 for 7 and Murray.

If Murray doesn't want to come here, then he won't come here. KA (and Ottawa, for that matter) can't FORCE him to come here.

Can’t imagine Ottawa would do that. But if so, fly the pegula jet out right now

The group as a whole (him plus Karmanos, Ventura and Galamini) is solid. I think the only real concerns, justified or not, are ownership and reputation, the latter of which potentially just nixed the smarts of the group.

Execution matters but I think they may actually be smart.

That trade was better than I expected him to get, I'll give him that... But it still would give us bottom 3 goaltending tandem in the NHL... I give him credit for potentially getting us up 9 spots, but hopefully we get a better number 1 goalie and maybe we can actually contend for the playoffs.

Not sure its the whole reason, but a lot of people think his relationship with the goalie coach played a part in him saying no.

Very unfortunate, cause I'd just fire Bales to make it happen, but then that doesn't really help your rep long term does it.

Sure, but he didn't get it done yet.

Are we awarding points for trying?

If he gets it done, massive kudos.

I'd be really surprised if that was the sole reason, but I thought it was interesting too.

Probably didn't want to uproot his family especially after having a child semi recently.

Wonder if he'd be amenable to Arizona. Buffalo could be the middle man, retain salary in addition to the salary retained by ott and give Arizona a taste (4th rounder?)
