The Genius Brain Murray is at it again
Ottawa Senators were saddened by their divorce with Daniel Alfredsson but Brain Murray did not get down on himself and picked a new arm candy in Bobby Ryan and yes I am talking about that Bobby Ryan that was the odd man out in Anaheim with Cory Perry with a cap hit of 8.625 mil a season and Ryan Getzlaf with a cap hit of 8.25.
So with two seasons left on a deal worth 5.1 million and a nice pay increase coming to him the Ducks would not be able to handle three contracts probably worth over 8 million of a cap hit.
That is where the GM genius steps in and Brain Murray pulled the rug out from everyone as they were blinded by the Daniel Alfredsson decision and he came in and packaged Jakob Silfverberg, a first round pick in 2014 and young winger Stefan Noesen for a 30-goal in Bobby Ryan and it looks like Murray has not lost a step.
So Jason Spezza (if he stays healthy) will have a nice left winger in Bobby Ryan and with Ryan's 4 straight 30 plus goal seasons before the 48-game season and also at least 50 to 70 points a season during those 4 seasons and both should feed off each others talent level and take each other to another level.
With a great goalie in Craig Anderson (Anderson for Bishop the Avs must be kicking themselves) the Sens could battle those annoying Bruins for the top of their division while keeping those feet ready to kick at those up and coming Leafs, Canadiens, and those brand new Red Wings and their new arm candy Daniel Alfredsson.
Brian Murray keeps a step ahead of everyone else
