X. Benedict Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I agree. Even if they sign another 5-6-7 vet blueliner, the combination of youth/mediocrity on the blueline, and average to below average goaltending, will lead to being VERY competitive for 29th or 30th place in the standings. Who are we going to leapfrog? Hopefiully the Isles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 GMTM just filled out the entire team for the coming season before 5:00 on the first day of Free Agency. Talk about all business. He must want to get home in time for dinner tonight. :worthy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Tim Murray doesn't get hired, hockey organizations form around him. Awesome .... I watched his press conference, today. I have this sensation that I'm watching a savant. He was put on earth to be a hockey GM. I'm not convinced he could order wine at dinner or pick up dry cleaning. He is, however, at peace and in control, traveling a path he sees clearly. Like many extraordinary talents, he is frustrated because others seem to be slow on the uptake. He almost seems confused that no one sees what he sees. I find myself more fearful that he'll get bored than I am that he'll fail. I know, we'll all know more in three years. I described him in the magical terms that I've learned are ultimately revealed to be incomplete. I get it. Man, what a first impression ...

North Buffalo Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Nice to come home from a men's league game and hear all about these signings. I agree Sabres will need some growing up, but the D is solidified with Georges and Mazaros. Myers is expendable now and can be traded for another number 1 in 2015 and the Sabres gained some veteran leadership for the young guys. All smiles... if Murray does not do anything more except deal with Myers till next years draft he has done more that Darcy did competently in 16 years here. Wow.... I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel and it isn't an incoming train... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowPhysics Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 We can now change all the Chuck Norris jokes to GMTM jokes. Love this! There used to be a street named after Tim Murray, but it was changed because nobody crosses Tim Murray and lives. Tim Murray can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves. Tim Murray doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
