JohnC Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 With the signing of Okposo I am jubilant. If we sign Vesey I would be jubilant and ebullient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 bring back Enroth I would like it, but I think he's too small for GMTM's tastes. Would be funny if they sign Scrivens, with the lovefest between him and Lehner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 At work all day, but delighted with the Okposo signing. Still hope a Cam Fowler trade can be executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 @SabresPR Full audio of Tim Murray's July 1 media availability can be found at Sabres Digital Press Box https://t.co/N35Qpyy5UQ MURRAY: "Kyle was at the top of our list." Asked about missing out on Stamkos.MURRAY: "He wasn't picky between Ryan or Jack."MURRAY: "This shows that we are a destination for players. He's a hell of a player. He's a goal scorer and has a power forward's body."MURRAY: "He didn't have a choice of 30 teams. But a lot of teams were interested and he chose to come here."MURRAY: On Vesey, "Will go next week to meet with him. Tell him how much we need him."MURRAY: "It was one conversation on the phone. We got a call back from his agent saying he really liked the call, and had interest in us."MURRAY: "I didn't have to sell him on Buffalo, I didn't have to sell him on Buffalo as a city, I had to sell on the organization."MURRAY: "I thought I had a goalie done, I had a verbal agreement and it was reneged upon."MURRAY: "It was not Chad Johnson who reneged upon our agreement."MURRAY: "It has never happened to me, I called the GM he signed with to tell him my story, he had a similar story." On Goalie reneging.MURRAY: "We've called and thanked Stamkos' agency for allowing a meeting with us. He's a great young man, and it was a great experience."MURRAY: "I like our top-6 forwards a lot. I think we're competitive with a lot of the teams in the league."MURRAY on Risto talks: "We have a number we know we are traveling to. He told us he wants to be here, and we want him to be here."MURRAY: "We are going down the road of a long term deal. If there are bumps in talks we may do bridge, but we want to get long term done."MURRAY: "We worked a long time on Jake's deal. Went back and forth for a while. I think both sides are very happy with the deal."MURRAY: "Cole's a local kid, played a few years in Binghamton. He's a very talented, smart hockey player, he's been in the gym since May."MURRAY: "Cole is working out supervised now. He's going to come in bigger, stronger and faster than before."MURRAY: "We have a few more depth guys to sign for sure. A couple more targets that we'd call depth guys, and the goalie situation."MURRAY: "It is a very serious charge and we take it very seriously, but I want to wait and see if he's been charged and if he's guilty."MURRAY: "Kane needs to pick and choose his spots when he goes out much better, and he needs to behave himself much better when he does."MURRAY: "We're going to let the process happen, and whenever it ends we will sit down and talk with him about the results good or bad."MURRAY: "We all worry about term in free agency, he's a young free agent. We don't expect to see a massive drop off in his game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Fanager @generalfanager Anders Nilsson has signed with Buffalo following trade, 1 yr @ $1M. Ugh, not a fan of this move at all. I have a feeling our playoff hopes might come down to our backup goalie, and this guy is....well, big in size I guess. I hope Ullmark has improved. Three Swedish goalies, huh?

QCity Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 GMTM's preference for size in net showing. Yeah I would feel much, much better with short Enroth. What's the problem Tim, he's Swedish too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enroth is definitely a solid choice as a back up, but he comes up short in the Murray goalie profile as you already know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
