What could Brain Murray do as The Maple Leafs GM
What could a guy who can phone the GM of the Avalanche and say lets trade under achieving goalies (Brain Elliot for Craig Anderson) or wakes up one morning and realizes that his teams captain (Daniel Alfredsson) is bailing on the team and turning around almost immediately and trading for Bobby Ryan. Also turning a trade demand (Danny Heatley) into at least a 30 to 40 point player for 4 of 5 seasons while the demanding player has already moved on while also a contract dispute elsewhere (Kyle Turris) and getting him at a bargain (David Rundblad).
This guy is Brain Murray who is the GM of the Ottawa Senators but if he was the Toronto Maples GM with 8 million dollar extra as the Sens sit 8 million dollars under the cap. What could he have gotten for Dion Phaneuf at the trade deadline instead of signing long-term (7 seasons) as the No. 1 D-man of a team that allows almost 36 shots a game and leave the goalies high and dry regularly might not be the kind of player tie yourself to. Also when he realizes early in the season that the back end simply sucking what kind of magic would he use to change the style of the back end to change the team future so that the goalies would of been put in a better position to get the team into the playoffs instead OF THE Habs being the only team north of the border in the 2013-14 NHL playoffs.
Could Brain Murray been able to figure out how to get a guy like P.K. Subban in the blue and white when the Habs were low balling him during the 48 game shorten season of 2012-13.
I feel that a lot that Brain Murray touches turns into gold and even as a guy that tapped out on the team a long time ago I still believe the fans deserve a whole lot better than get
