Murray will be in Ottawa until the RIGHT GM found, the way it should be.

GREAT TO BE BACK!

ah Neely, good to see you back, really missed you around here, your insight could never be replaced.

You don't remember Neely too well do you? His Ego requires extra bandwidth just to get on this website. I don't think you need to stroke it at all.

well true dat, hopefully i don't cause the server to go down lol, but I have to give credit where credit is due

WB..don't know you, but read the history and look forward to reading your posts...

By RIGHT GM found are you talking the right GM for Melynk or the right GM for an NHL franchise...I'm afraid with all these rumors of Dave Cameron being the next coach that we may get into a who Melnyk likes most situation versus who is right.

The right GM as in the guy who will give or keep the credibility of The Sens, who will attract UFA's when the time is right, who will be the right people in place from scouts to the people who sell the beer. The guy that knows what he wants and knows how to put it in place.

Dave Cameron is a hell of a coach though, that could be anyones pick and he could be the next big thing coming to The NHL. Muller is another guy I would look at as well.

I don't know Dave Cameron (other than what I've seen on T.V.) I just want to avoid giving him the position because of his relationship with Gene...if he's qualified then I'm all for it.

What are people opinions of Randy Cunneyworth. He knows the city and the expectations here. I think he's shown he can work with young players because of his work with Buffalo's farm system, and those kids are starting to produce at the NHL level.

THoughts?

I think Clouston's odds are improving. Most likely he is gone but I can see a 1 year contract and they bring in a former head coach to be his 'associate coach'.

We praise him for things that have gone well and say well at the time they were good so just because things went bad it doesn't really matter. I personally love what Murray has done this season under the circumstances and I love how he's drafted and what he's done with the college route but I'm not giving him a complete mulligan just because the trades looked good at the time and now are turning out to be horrible.

I think it's time to move on with a new GM but keep Murray on as a consultant.
