Moving back on ince-ice matters, Doug Murray will start the season in a coat and tie.  Marc-Eduoard Vlasic, a 19-year-old defenseman, has supplanted Doug in the top 6.  Unless Vlasic gets sent to the Q (the first year of his three-year entry level contract kicks in after his tenth game played), Doug will need injuries to break into the lineup.

Question #6: was he wearing snakeskin pants during the interview?

Ehrhoff, ene of the Sharks top 6 defensemen, is questionable for tonight's game against the Blues.  Let's hope if Doug cracks the lineup tonight he makes the most of his opportunity.

So will he go to the AHL or will they keep him with the Sharks as a fill-in?  (Not familiar with how many extras they can keep for when a starter goes down.)

Doug Murray cannot be sent to the AHL without having to clear waivers, so I think that his roster spot is safe.  An NHL team can have 23 men on its roster, not including players on the injured list.

So for all intents and purposes, he is with the Sharks, just not playing?

Yes, if Christian Ehrhoff can play tonight, Doug Murray would be a healthy scratch.  If Ehrhoff can't go, we'll find out if Doug is starting the season as the 7th or 8th defenseman.

It is hardly unusual for a teenaged player to make an NHL team out of training camp and get returned to juiors for seasoning, experience, etc. before he plays in his tenth NHL game.  I would not be surprised if Marc-Eduoard Vlasic is playing in the QJMHL before the end of October.  (Getting sent back to juniors is far better for a player's development than sitting on the pine.  Ask Manny Malhotra.)  Between that possibility and the reality that top-six defensemen will get hurt, I wouldn't rule out the possibilty that Doug Murray will play over forty games this season.

Ehrhoff in the lineup...too bad.

Word I hear from people who watched the Sharks game is that Vlasic was solid but Josh Gorges looks like he's overmatched physically.

Given the two goals on them in the first 5 minutes, hopefully that helps Doug crack the lineup.

Doug is in the doghouse. Hasn't played regularly since January.  Slight injury last year, sure, but he has been healed for a long time (mid/late March?).  Only thing that I don't get is why they gave him a 3 year one-way contract (not sure if this is fact or just the Internet rumor).  They must have thought he'd make more progress than he has so far.

I read on hfboards that Doug's contract is two-way in year one and one-way in years two and three.
