Murray on WGR HH (are you listening closely SpikedLemonade)

[DetDannyWilliams]

Buffalo Sabres' general manager Tim Murray joined WGR to discuss the latest on trade talks and the state of the team. He called trade talks "quiet" and addressed the future.

[SpikedLemonade]

Probably not.

I don't think listening to a person whose brilliant strategic move is to strip the team to lose on purpose is really necessary.

Any monkey could do that.

Strip the team of players that were leaving anyways.

Yeah, spiked is too busy trolling to admit this is standard Nhl operating procedures for a team rebuilding.

Why is it that every possible FA was going to leave the Sabres anyways?

Is that true of any player on the Sabres once they obtain that privilege?

Why sign guys who weren't going to come back or who were not part of the long term plans? That's sorta how hockey front offices go. If they aren't going to come back or part of the plan, trade them for assets.

If you have a problem with that, well, that sucks.

Stewart's trade value has rocketed up and multiple teams have called inquiring about his services.

He could fetch a decent return.

18 points in 26 games will do that.

All that it does is prove his consistency issues. He is what he is and other teams know it.

Confrontational much today? Rising value doesn't mean a lottery pick.

Well, you seem to be on edge when discussing hockey events right now. Did you not like the trade?

This is the first move that really puts Murray's stamp on this team. im excited to see Kane with some talent on his line.

I also like Bogosian better than Myers.

im just in a bad mood. sorry.

I get like that too, I just felt your posts regarding hockey were very negative, and that's unlike you.

I like the trade. A lot. I just hated seeing armia go. He was our best wing prospect. But ya gotta give go get.

This is not rocket surgery. Some of them sucked and we didn't want them back. The rest knew we were rebuilding and were in the latter stages of their career so they didn't want to come back n

Most didn't want to come back, others weren't worth bringing back in a rebuild. Every team makes those types of decisions. It's kinda how hockey decisions go?

As one scout says, Stewart isn’t someone he’d advise investing in. “Too many no-shows,” he says, adding that Stewart was miserable down the stretch last season. His line in the final 20 games of 2013–14: no goals, two assists, –11 and just 29 shots. When told of a rumor that Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli might be willing to part with prospectRyan Spooner in exchange for Stewart, the scout was dubious, saying, “That wouldn't exactly be a feather in [Chiarelli’s] cap.”

And the article goes on to say some team will take a flier on him. I think you are reading too much into me saying his value has risen. You seem to be believing I think he's worth like a lottery pick when that's not the case.
