What will Tim Murray's first player move be?

[haseoke39]

I think playing for his hometown is probably third on Patrick Kane's list, behind playing for a top contender and maximizing his contract value. If Chicago is willing to pay market value to keep him, I doubt he'll be inclined to leave.

I think Pegula flying out on a plane and gladhanding people might have one last useful application: Pat Kane the summer of 2015. If we land some absolute studs this draft and next, we might actually be able to convince Pat that he's jumping on board a rising Phoenix. Will he be? I don't know, but I bet a little Buffalo fan inside him will want to believe it's true.

I think Kane is really likely to re-sign a year ahead of time, but if he doesn't, if he actually tests UFA, I think he might be a legit target. That's the test: if he actually goes to UFA.

I think this is the only realistic shot we have of convincing Kane to come here via UFA.

"Jonathan Toews is a great player, but have you seen our shiny new McDavid/Eichel? "

I would be stunned if the Hawks let Kane or Toews hit UFA.

Until 7/1/2015 gets here and Kane is still unsigned, I'm not going to assume that Kane to the Sabres for the 2015-16 season is realistic at all.

Miller and Grigorenko to Washington for Holtby & 1st

Miller to the Caps for Tom Wilson. Throw in a third if need be.

I doubt Caps will move Wilson. I wonder if Andre Burakovsky or Riley Barber would be in play.

Handle a difficult and disgruntled, 19 year old first round pick

Murray is a bust!

 

[hizzoner]

Cause as much hassle as possible with a first round pick so he can be traded to Ottawa a la Kyle Turris.

Murray thinks hes still working for Ottawa.

 

[DylanSensFan]

Trade Grigorenko. You heard it here 1st.

funny, that was my first thought. May not be his first move... but if the Russian whines you can guarantee he will be packaged and moved for picks.

I think Miller stays... there needs to be solid tending to build around.
