TBN: Brett Murray quickly finding his way with Americans

[CowbellConray]

What is Murray's ceiling?

I would compare him to Jordan Greenway from the Wild. Big, but not a fighter. Will throw the body and drive the net, and has good top end speed.

I am saying if he pans out, we likely have a good 3rd line PWF. He looks to be on an upward track, but I want to see it over the course of a few months before offering a deal. I have just seen enough great 10 game stretches lead to nothing to be hesitant of offering a deal right away.

However I am a fan and hope he can be impactful for us in the future.

Seeing as the Sabres are at 49 of 50 NHL contracts it doesn't likely look like Murray will be getting one.

Saw some calls in November that he definitely deserved one but am wondering why.

Seems like he had a better than expected first season in the AHL — given his lack of production at Penn State. Perhaps his college experience was a wake-up call and kudos to him for getting fitter, working on his game, etc.

At this point has he showed the potential to be a better NHL prospect than some of the people already signed to contracts or the various free agents available — both here in North America and overseas?

CF has them at 45 contracts and they have a lot expiring.

How has Murray looked in Roch this year? I see he's putting up points. Any chance he could compete for a roster spot in camp in the fall?

Injury call up possibly.

as of now Buffalo has 13 forwards for 21/22 season who are signed or RFAs playing on the Sabres or on IR and excluding taxi squad forwards or ones in Rochester

Murray is one of the guys that Adams specifically said was likely to get a cup of coffee here in Buffalo towards the end of the season.

Add Bjork, subtract Lazar. I think...I think they are going to be OK with this. Which means we are a borderline playoff team next season. Maybe thats OK.

I wonder if Dougie Hamilton would take 8.5 to play here. That would leave 3.5 for a LHD, hopefully 5 for Ullmark and 2 for a backup. That will pretty much max us with the cap.

At this rate, by next year Canadiens fans will be referring to Victor Mete as "Not Brett Murray"
