Can we keep Murray Please???

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

All this talk of him being goners next year. Why don't we keep him? He'll come reasonably cheap and fills a huge need. Don't see why we have to chuck him.

I don't know if he'll be cheap but a yes for me.

You should have posted a poll.

 

[Et le But]

If Tinordi isn't ready, we need an upgrade. The bottom half of our defense is still one of this team's biggest weaknesses, being more useful than Bouillon isn't good enough.

good call! done and done.

Still better than Bouillon and Drewiske .. Good #6/#7 defenseman monster on the PK and can drop the gloves, why not ?

 

[Le Barron de HF]

That's Tinordi's spot. If Tinordi isn't ready, I'd like us to give a guy like Mark Stuart a look if he becomes a free agent.

 

[Kriss E]

We need to improve our top 4, and next year we should leave a spot for youngsters.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

He's a great depth defenseman, better than Bouillon. Keep him if he's cheap.

 

[peate]

With all the defensemen in Hamilton waiting in line, there won't be much room for him. I voted no but wouldn't be against keeping him either if we get rid of Bouillon and we have no other option, but I'd prefer Tinordi if he's ready.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Runner77]

Some dominos may yet fall. While Markov is likely a shoo-in for a renewal deal, not sure if Diaz is part of the plan. With Tinordi likely up next year, there may yet be a spot in that 6-7th role. Don't see how Drewiske may enter the equation at this point. Bouillon's gotta be out ... right? (Michel, time to move on).

 

[Account Terminated]

On a cheap contract AND if Tinordi isn't ready, why not? Good team guy.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

He sure as hell shoudn't be sitting out for Bouillon, that's for sure. But if they won't give him a full-time spot I doubt they re-sign him with Tinordi and Beaulieu knocking at the door.

Anyone know when he will be back??

 

[donghabs98]

Resign if it's a cheap deal. Even if Tinordi is ready I wouldn't mind bringing him back. He would be a nice 6-7 guy

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Why the **** did Therrien think it would be a good idea to not play him tonight? This is exactly the type of team you want Murray in for..

 

[Habitants]

seriously? no thx
i commend him for his efforts and what he brings this season but the habs don't need him next yr. guy will be 34 and he is not getting any faster.

Habs have Pateryn, Tinordi and Beaulieu who should all get a chance to stick with the team. Pateryn especially will be 24 next yr, he has size and plays hard. looking good in Hamilton this season.

I like how people can judge Drewiski while he has only played 9 games for the habs and no one has seen him play this season.

I would prefer to trade bourque to get Nikitin out of CLB and let Diaz go.
Nikitin brings good size and a balance of skills

Markov-Subban
Gorges-Emelin
Nikitin-Pateryn
Drewiski

Tinordi-Beaulieu

Up until tonight I would af agreed with you but after seeing us perform against LA and not to long ago St. Louis and San Jose we need a major upgrade up front and I think Markov might be able to fetch us something really useful. We have lots of you guys coming up on D but I don't think signing a 35 1/2 year old to a new term would make sense. You have to give something of value to receive something of value and if we could get an important piece for Markv, and replace Gionta with another big forward who can skate and hit this will help us down the road .

Hopefully Bouillon retires.

 

[CanadienShark]

Voted no. But if it's between Murray and Frankie, I'll go with Murray, as long as he's cheap.

If it's between Bouillon and you I choose you. I don't even know if you can skate.

Oh I can skate alright... I just can't stop. I'll just be a hitting machine. Plus I'm 6'0, so I won't be undersized... except my weight...

 

[capebretoncanadien]

Can't believe this is in yes territory.

Murray is a terrible terrible defenseman.

He can throw the odd nice check and is decent on the PK.

Other than that he is just abysmal.

Bottom line is Murray AND Boullion can GTFO and make room for one (or both) of Beaulieu and Tinordi.

They are not helping us in the present or future IMO.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

How can you not like this guy anyway, he brings much more than Bouillon.

Can't stop? No problem. Work out with The Rock and the Habs could use you.

Actually, how much would it cost to get The Rock on skates and in our uniform? 6'3" 265 lbs
