The word "whirlwind" pretty much sums up Tim Murray’s first two weeks at the helm of the Buffalo Sabres. The new GM has been criss-crossing the continent scouting prospects, meeting staff and just getting a handle on the operation he’s taken over.
Oh, and he finally moved to Buffalo.
"I drove down from Shawville (Quebec) on Tuesday with my truck loaded up and moved in," Murray told ESPN.com Wednesday night. "So now I’m here."
Oh, but the work is just getting started, beginning with what he’s going to do with his pending free agents, led by the likes of winger Matt Moulson and star netminder Ryan Miller among the 11 unrestricted free agents on the club.
"When the concrete offers start coming in, and if the offers are legit offers that improve the franchise going forward, I have to listen," Murray said. "I think that all the pending UFAs are probably expecting to be moved, I’m not going to say they’re definitely going to be moved, there has to be a market."
The reality is that Murray has just begun the process of establishing what deals are out there for some of his UFAs.
