Bruins put Murray on waivers
Posted: Thursday July 24, 2008 10:34AM ET
GM Peter Chiarelli acknowledged that placing Glen Murray on unconditional waivers, the first step toward a buyout, was a challenging decision. Chiarelli stressed that placing Murray on waivers was not directly tied to Dennis Wideman's extension. "It just so happened that the two things happened at the same time," Chiarelli said. "You can't connect the two directly."

Obvious cost-cutting move.Murray is a solid player...this move could hurt the Bruins next season.

I agree on one hand. But it's hard to keep everyone from not posting. A string of F-yous would look funny if executed correctly.

Definitely.

Report Offensive CommentDepends on his salary demands. 13 goals and 30 points in 63 games ain't worth the 4.15 mil he made. If he's willing to be reasonable in his salary demands, he'll be skating in somebody's training camp.

As much disdain as he has for this guy, I'm guessin that he took work off all week. That's worth a good 3 or 4 day bender for him.

Report Offensive CommentHe was effective playing with Jumbo Joe. Since Joe left,he's pretty much ineffective. Wt...i wouldnt go so far as to say i hate him,but i watched 90% of the Bruins game last season...........and he's not good anymore. He also scored 17 goals last season and he posted a big fat ZERO in the play-offs. He's forever hunched over skating. He also half cocked his slap shot all the time in a crowd full of players. He looked pretty stupid doing that. He was not going to receive a pass in a crowd full of the opposition. He's certainly not a 1st line winger anymore. On most good teams he'll fit in on the 3rd line. On some other teams maybe he'll fit in on the 2nd line. He still has a blistering slap shot though.......he just needs the space. Maybe he'll be a PP specialist somewhere. His 4.15 salary was too much for the B's.
Ryder took his spot on the 1st line. It was not because of Wideman.

Report Offensive CommentIs still a valuable 2nd or 3rd line scorer on any team. He will probably get offers from the usual teams that chase every free agent.. Philly, Rangers.
I would like to see him added to Pittsburgh, play on either Sid's or Eugene's right wing. The guy can still snipe away from the high slot, would be a cinch to score 30 goals playing with either of them.
