Oh man. The picture of Murray and Pegula shaking hands is easily the funniest thing I've seen this week.

lol - it looks like GMTM was trying to get up and run out the door and got surprised by the camera.

GMTM on thePegulas: "They've been very supportive. I can't think of 1 time I've gone to them w/an idea that they said no or even questioned"

So, at least if there's meddling, it's not reverse-meddling  :w00t:

Hrm not sure how I feel about this.

 

He has yet to make this team actually better

He can be fired at any time.

Technically false--he took over mid-tank. We're objectively better than we were then.

[TrueBlueGED]

Parenteau, Pirri, Yakupov, Stempniak all with goals tonight. All players I had interest in as offensive depth.

*glares at Tim Murray*

[Trettioåtta]

My concern with Tim Murray is that he has a list of 'his' players and basically only wants them. Instead of taking advantage of opportunities available 

[North Buffalo]

Too many years still not convinced esp aft tonites hot garbage.

[Randall Flagg]

Too many years still not convinced esp aft tonites hot garbage.

The number of years are irrelevant, if Pegula wants to, he can fire Murray at literally any point during the contract.

[TrueBlueGED]

I feel we can be critical of Murray while still being fine with the extension. As Flagg said, Pegula isn't afraid to swallow money. But secondly, this really is only Murray's second offseason of trying to improve the team. Realistically speaking, a GM should get a run of 4-5 years before judgment is passed IMO.

[LGR4GM]

In here we see the Tim Murray in his natural habitat. Ever perceptive, the Tim Murray spots our camera man and his survival instincts kick in. First he freezes as he assesses the situation. Then after a brief pause, he proceeds on like normal.

I read it in that accent even before I saw the bottom :lol:

I'm happy abouty this. I want GMTM here longer than Darcy. I'm glad he likes it here.

I like TMs refreshing candor, but I honestly would have went the other way on most of his major decisions except drafting Sam and Jack. I won't rehash the past but I am not seeing the obvious way forward in his plan. If you are not patient enough to bet on all the draft picks we accumulated and trade them for "NHL" ready players, you can't then stand pat this off season and not continue to acquire "NHL" ready players to plug obvious holes when there is no one in the system to step in. I get contracts and cap, but then you have to deal roster players. And yes there were UFAs available. I am firmly behind this team, it is just tough watching other teams and seeing the plan and not seeing it here. And that includes Toronto.
