Murray reaches agreement with Right Winger

That's possible. I heard someone talking about Hamilton (perhaps it was negatively, but nonetheless...).

Actually, if he signed a 2-way he'd be a top 3 player in Bingo - and a nice call up. It might be him after all. That would be a good call.

For Frank's sake, am I reading that stat right? He scored 9 goals all of last year and 7 of them were on the PP!?

Yup he's basically a PP specialist. Most teams have just thrown him on their 4th line and then put him on the point on their PP. Clearly it has worked for a few team. He has a really nice shot... but besides that I don't knwo alot about him.

Hmmm...you don't say....

A PP QB who can sit on the bench for the rest of the game - and earn league minimum. A great shot? I don't know much about him to be honest, but I don't see how that hurts.

Well.... There's the whole thing about the kids not getting to play but I think we have to wait untill camp to see if some guys are ready or not and then Murray will have to decide what path he needs to go. Either someone like Zubov takes that top 6 spot or he''ll have to get outside help like Hamilton or Glen Murray and send some guys to Bingo. But hopefully we can clear a few spots for guys like Bass and Winchester by trading Mccammond or someone for a low pick. LA needs to hit the cap floor so mabye they'd be interested in giving us a 4th rounder or something for one of our spare bodies.

Well the winger is not Jeff Hamilton has he has signed with teh AHL Chicago Wolves.

Teemu Selanne anyone????? Maybe Murray has a verbal agreement based on if Anehiem can't clear the cap space for him.

mmmmm... Le the conspiracies and rumors FLY!!

Seriously though, he would be an interesting acquisition, to say the least.

How much cap room do the Sens have? I need to check that out.


EDIT: does $4.999M sound about right?

He's already said he'll only play for Anaheim or he'll retire.

True, but it's fun to speculate.

and hey, I'm not putting it as an e3 or e4. LOL

It may explain the secrecy because if Murray doesnt sign him he could go out and get someone else and save face as we wont know any better.
