Canucks reportedly interested in Douglas Murray Douglas Murray Update

"The Canucks reportedly have interest in free agent Douglas Murray, who would provide a physical boost.

Murray's agent told the Province he's had talks with the Canucks "off and on" throughout the summer, though they're currently not close to a deal.

The 33-year-old blueliner is coming off a four-year, $10 million contract but won't get anything close to that this summer. If Murray wants a multi-year deal from the Canucks (or anyone else), he'll have to accept a pay cut."

I hope he's right.

Me too.  It's actually a fairly well-researched and well-thought-out opponent review; not the boiler plate one usually sees.  I'm looking forward to reading the other KYEs as a guide to our common opponents.  I have for example absolutely no idea what to expect from Clarkson this year.

No, there's also those three old people from Schenectady, who think being a good fan is bringing a gallon milk jug full of pennies and shaking them in people's faces.
