But says he still has to convince Brett of that fact. Still very much enjoying Donnie’s media sessions. Positive, straightforward and informative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted January 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 When I watched Murray in Rochester, his standout skill was net-front PP. I'd like to see him get more time in that role in Buffalo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray is good (in the AHL at least) at getting to and burying rebounds, and taking pass in tight and spitting the puck back out to a perimeter shooter.

I'd like to see him get more time in that role in Buffalo. Murray doesn't skate particularly well, he doesn't shoot the puck very well, he's not a setup guy, doesn't make his teammates better. Hands are average at best, doesn't contribute defensively. He fills a role at this time (net front/size), but if the braintrust have identified him as part of the "solution" moving forward, we're in trouble. My forecast: career AHL'er with short stint call-ups when Buffalo is contending for a playoff spot. Do better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance is whack. A roster player? Yes. Part of the core? Ha! 2 hours ago, Carmel Corn said: Maybe a little like how Risto was used in the PP before? Maybe a lot like that.
