He has had a good run but when it is time it is time.

I hope he stays out of the management aspect of the team.

 

[Six Assets]

All the best to BM

 

[Ice-Tray]

The future is often exciting right up until it isn't.

Sad on the one side, hopeful excitement on the other.

 

[Benjamin]

I wanna say I hope he spends the rest of his time doing the stuff he loves but I think he already is.

Im assuming it won't be a replacement from within.

It would appear that Dorion and Perry are a bit green for the job, but stranger things have happened. Maybe Alfie can pull a Garth Snow.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

It was the obvious next step, but it's sad to hear it more officially. Murray is a hell of a coach/gm and an even better person. It'll be interesting to see who takes over.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

"It doesn't have to be during my time."

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

Ray Shero...come on down.

Seriously though, I am right in the middle about Murray's tenure as GM (some good, some bad) but Murray the person has been nothing but a complete class act and a wonderful face of our franchise. I was hoping he'd transition into our team president for many years. Still hope it will happen.

 

[Vaclav Varada]

I've heard a few things from some people on the inside that say Lee has an inside track over Dorion for GM which really threw me off.

 

[StefanW]

I assume it is Dorion, but who knows.

Sorry to hear about this. I would think it has something to do with his health, which is far more important than hockey.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

I've heard a few things from some people on the inside that say Lee has an inside track over Dorian for GM which really threw me off.

Really? I heard that neither are going to be the GM.

Considering Shero is a close family friend of Melynk's and he worked in the org as an assistant GM before he went to Pittsburgh, I'd say he's the favorite.

Not to mention he's been seen sitting in Eugene's owner's box at a handful of games this season.

 

[Ser Grogu]

Any chance Timmy or Chiarelli pull a John Farrell?

 

[pepty]

I hope he is able to devote more time to his health-maybe get involved in a clinical trial...Paul Henderson has been on a trial that has worked really well in the short term at least.
His voice sounds stronger lately but he looks frail.
Good luck to him.

 

[saskriders]

Good luck to Bryan

 

[Benjamin]

My money is on Shero. Not sure what to think of him.

I was just talking about between the 2 of them Lee has the inside track. Not meaning he has the inside track over other potential hires.

Yeah, right. And let's back-fill the A/GM spot with the office receptionist.

 

[BonkTastic]

I hope there is still a place for him in the Sens org, even if it's something as simple as part-time adviser.

A huge element of fighting major illnesses, even if they're terminal, is your attitude towards it, and having something to work towards. I hope Bryan keeps busy if that's what helps him through all of this.


As for his replacement, I know a few of my Usher buddies are saying it'll be Shero, but that's still speculation on their part, regardless of how much closer to the team they are than I am at the moment. That's just their hunch.

 

[Sensinitis]

Bryan is such a beautiful human being.

 

[Back in Black]

Yeah, right. And let's back-fill the A/GM spot with the office receptionist.

Ha-ha that is funny, but seriously Randy Lee has been with the org since almost the beginning and has worked his way up from the Video tech to where is now, and he is really dedicated.

What ever he get's he deserves.

 

[MainDotC]

Really sad to see Bryan go. Wish he continued as coach - really liked his spunk.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I'm not even going to speculate on who the next GM is, I'm just sad that health issues are what is pushing Bryan to move on. I'm sure his family wants to spend more time with him while he is still relatively healthy.

I have no doubt Melnyk will keep him on within the organisation. Murray's been an excellent representative for the Senators in whatever role he's played.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Enjoy the rest of your fine career Mr,Murray. , and please for the love of god don't trade Lehner !!

 

[Slow Hands]

Breaks my hear to see him leaving like this. Really wish he could have gotten his Cup.
