humble jack not bothered by Murray's comments
Re: humble jack not bothered by Murray's comments
What do you expect him to say?
Murray does not have the social skills to be a NHL executive. This is not the first time he put his foot in his mouth.
Murray is much better suited to be what he loves to do -- be a scout.
Re: humble jack not bothered by Murray's comments
He could have said alot. He didnt. Probably because he knew what murray was saying instead of getting outraged and taking it out of context.

Murray is an absolute idiot.
this bum is going to ruin his own tank rebuild before it gets started.
Re: humble jack not bothered by Murray's comments
I am totally excited to have Jack Eichel as a Buffalo Sabre. He's a legit 1st line center and franchise player. Buffalo hasn't had that since Lafontaine.
No all we need is a sniper to put with him and Kane to make it all go!
Re: humble jack not bothered by Murray's comments
Murray is excited to, if you read his comments after he clarified his disappointment comment.
As for eichel, his bigger, stronger, and faster then mcdavid. May not have the same vision, but it's probably still elite. Get us to draft day, and get this kid in here. I hope he goes pro right away, and while he's on the fence about it, sounds like he's leaning going pro.
God Am I excited for eichel.

Kinda sad that an 18 year old kid has more PR savvy than a 51 year old GM.

I'll give you that. Sounded bad at first. I'm glad he clarified his statement so it's no big deal now, but there is such a thing as too much honesty

You got 2 out of 3 right... Jack Eichel is not as fast as Connor McDavid

Oh I had heard eichel had better speed.
Re: humble jack not bothered by Murray's comments
Murray made a fool of himself last night. He felt bad for the fans? lmao. He's the one who let himself fall in love with McDavid. We all knew we had a very small chance at him.

I understood it to be the case as well. Jack will also physically be more prepared for NHL play immediately.
Re: humble jack not bothered by Murray's comments
I believe Eichel may be a better pro initially. He has played with older people most recently, while McDavid is playing with boys his own age. We do a lot of physical maturing between 19 and 22 years old.
That being said, both will be fantastic players, and look forward to watching both of them for many years...

Which GM DID'NT fall in love with McDavid?
There should be disappointment with getting shafted two years in a row. And it's extremely sketchy that Edmonton gets 4 of the past 6 1st picks. Not to mention that it sets up so that the Canadian team gets the Canadian born player.
I'm happy with and was expecting eichel. I think Murray is too, however you can't blame him for being pissed.

Murray is best suited to be a scout.
No interpersonal skills or executive presence.
There is a reason he was never a NHL GM until Buffalo hired him in desperation.
Murray will be gone in 3 years and back to living the scouting life.

Please don't go there. If it was fixed they wouldn't of put him in Edmonton!

Who cares how he is with the media? As long as he uses his scout background and brings in good draft picks does it matter that he is a social hand grenade?

What sought after experienced NHL Head Coach wants to work closely with and have his career depend on a "social hand grenade"?
