Pro Scout Rob Murphy off to Buffalo

[Quo]

The long rumored jump of pro scout Rob Murphy to join Tim Murray in Buffalo has happened.

Steve Lloyd @TSNSteveLloyd
As expected, hearing Rob Murphy has left the #Sens scouting staff to join Tim Murray in Buffalo.

This is a promotion for Rob apparently. Good for him.

What is the promotion?

What is the promotion?

Not sure but that's what Lloyd has intimated:

The 6th Sens @6thSens
@TSNSteveLloyd you mean the Senators "chose to let him go".

@TSNSteveLloyd
@6thSens Ha. In fairness. It's an upward mobility move.

Yeah, I have no idea what he did really but we've had some decent success with our pro level acquisitions so I guess he played a part in that.

Does this count under those rules that Buffalo has to give us a pick?

Unless he's being hired to be the head coach, GM or Pres of Hockey Ops there will be no compensation. So probably not.

 

[Sun God Nika]

We need to say no to this stuff. These scouts, assistant gm's, and coaches our assets hate seeing it go away for nothing.

 

[Senscore]

I guess he saw Buffalo as a better opportunity.

Unfortunate.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

yeesh.....do we have anybody left? We've really been poached badly over the past decade.

 

[Lehnsanity]

Why stick around a team that wont spend, when you can go to one for more money, and one who will spend?

 

[Laoghaire]

Our pro-scouting has been pretty god awful. I have a hard time seeing how he couldn't be replaced more effectively by Extra Skater.

 

[BonkTastic]

Meh.

 

[Indrew]

OH NO! Not Rob Murphy!

 

[pm88]

for a while Boston was poaching players from us.... looks like Buffalo might be the next team to be doing so

I doubt it has anything to do with that. This is a promotion for the guy. Paul MacLean left arguably one of the best managed teams in the NHL to take a promotion in Ottawa.

Why was there no return for Tim Murray? Contract up? or Bryan decided to be nice?

The new clause was only introduced after Murray left for the Sabres.

 

[operasen]

Thanks

Fancy that.

Im of the belief that TM turned down the Ottawa job for greener pastures in Buffalo....i would imagine more would follow, man that was hard to type.

Compare the two owners, it's not hard to see why

 

[SpezDispenser]

Maybe he can find Buffalo another Cory Conacher to acquire.

Remember when Dorian jumped ship? And Randy Lee? And Ruutu's brother?

Everyone is leaving!!!
