Sullivan gots to go!
Hey guys, I am looking for info on LW Brett Murray. He seems to have vanished from the hockey radar. I believe the Sabres still hold his rights but where is he playing this season?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
He’s attending the Rochester training camp. He doesn’t have a contract yet. It seems like if he were to get one it would be an AHL contract

He wanted to turn pro. He is at the Rochester training camp, so potentially with the Amerks. Or I am guessing more likely with their ECHL affiliate.
Actually no, the NCAA program he was supposed to be going to changed coaches. It wasn’t a matter of turning pro it’s just that he doesn’t have any other options.

Interesting. I swear I read something about how he wanted to go pro instead of continuing any NCAA career.
Either way, I don't see much of a future here. But would be nice if he could help Rochester at all.

The Amerks open their preseason tonight vs Syracuse @ RIT
Game Preview: Amerks Host Crunch at RIT
Here’s some names to watch for in the game.
This will be the first AHL game for five different players – Jacob Bryson, John Wiitala, Brett Murray, Kyle Olson, and Connor Hall.
The staff has liked what they’ve seen so far from Brett Murray at center and the adjustments he has made along the way to improve. He’s currently at camp on a tryout playing for a contract. The organization as a whole has made an investment into him as a player so it would be surprising if he doesn’t at least start the season on a PTO (professional tryout).
Kyle Olson performed well with the Buffalo at the Prospects Challenge and is also playing for his first pro contract as well. Olson can return to juniors for one more season which is likely the case where he’ll lead the Tri-City Americans.
Jacob Bryson will likely be a top six defenseman in Rochester and John Wiitala heading to Cincinnati next week.
Defenseman Connor Hall is another training camp invite and former Pittsburgh Penguins draft pick. The Penguins drafted him 77th overall in the third round of the 2016 draft. Injuries last season had him fall off the radar in the Penguins organization but he’s a player that Randy Sexton is familiar with and they’re also seeing where he’ll fit in.
Jarrett Burton will make his debut as a Rochester American tonight after spending parts of the last four seasons with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

Surprised Olson was released from his tryout...especially with the never impressive Brett Murray still around.
