Tim Murray emerged from the NHL general mangers meetings Thursday night the Hyatt Regency with this bit of news: He's not moving up in Friday's NHL Draft, although it's not for a lack of trying.
"Right now I can't move up into the top three, so I don't see a point of moving to four or five or six," Murray told The Buffalo News. "There's three guys I've said all along we're interested in. We may have a choice but I doubt it. That's how we read the draft. We're happy with those three guys. There's no point in moving to four or five. We don't see that big a difference to play a big price."

I'm still not sure how it all works out over time, but I like Tim Murray. I think he's done about what any GM should or can do, been as straight up as one could be, should be or that I could enjoy listening to for the lack of editorial and the determined bare bones simple insight.
Can't imagine him knowing what to do with himself if he took a day off. Can't imagine him not having a logical reasoned train of thought and simply stating it when appropriate. Can't imagine him saying anything he doesn't mean.
I hope he's around for a long time and it works out. The guy has a certain credibility, stability and focus uncommon to Buffalo sports for a long time.
