			<description><![CDATA[sounds like he's playing against the Leafs on Saturday. Also Murray dismissed the idea of him going down to Bingo at hte end of the season and taking part in the AHL playoffs (which seems odd - you would think that would be the kind of experience you would want a kid like DeCosta to add to his resume.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Excellent News! Once again shows how great a recruiter The Brain is. I was talking with a friend of mine the other day and I'd really like to see Murry behind the bench again coaching the Sens. Hands down, he's been my favorite Head Coach of them all. When the Sens eventually win the cup, 2011 will be looked back on as The Year. Now LOSE to Florida .... !]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The best part about this replenishing of the cupboards is that not only will there be strong competition for the spots on the NHL roster, but the B-sens will have strong competition for their roster spots as well next year! No matter what we agree or disagree on, I hope everyone is excited for the progress at all levels within this organization.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Great job by BM picking up a guy in a zero risk high reward situation. Looking forward to seeing what he can do the rest of this year in the NHL. I would be very surprised if he comes in and makes a big impact right away, and would think he'll at least start next year in Bingo. I heard on the radio that they aren't sure he'll be able to play center full-time at the NHL level at only 5'11 180 lbs or so, so they expect he might be tried on the wing at the pro level. Just throwing out a name I'd love to see the sens take with their Nashville mid-late 1st rounder, Boone Jenner of the Oshawa Generals. Saw him play a couple times this year, solid 2-way heart and soul guy with some offensive upside. Sort of a poor mans Mike Richards.]]></description>

In with the new (Butler, Greening, Condra, Rundblad, etc.) out with the old (Kovalev, Ruutu, Lecliare, Elliot, hopefully Kuba).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Skated with the team again this morning. No update was immediately available. I would be surprised if he played this weekend though. I heard he was suppose to play with Da Costa Sat vs Leafs? Missed that in all the hype of the Da Costa signing. Certainly makes Saturday interesting!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Tookie is my choice for next Sens GM. Fresh blood with a delightful sense of whimsy. Strome will likely be a top 5 pick. You can't use the Nashville pick to trade up for him. No chance. With so much difference of opinion, I'm don't think I'd be giving up much to trade up at any position in the draft but strange things can happen on draft day cause you never know.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm with Meadowdog on this, I'm not gonna say this is Brian Murrays crowning achievement, to me it was almost a no-brainer for De Costa to come here, we offered him a max contract, a role on the team he can feel good about, he's just watched Bobby Butler play a crucial role for us lately, and on top of all that he's FRENCH! Ottawa has a huge francophone community for him to interact with, and it's a lovely city to boot. Very excited for this guy, his history makes it possible that he's that one in a 100,000 gem that the scouts don't find these days before he makes it into the league. His numbers are phenomenal for a 21 yr old in the NCAA, VERY similar to what Martin St Louis did in that league way back from '93-'97... But I must not get carried away...Big game tonight in the lottery race!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Problem is most guys who don't impress until 20 yrs old aren't sh** and are using their age and physical maturity as a huge advantage over the 16-17yo's they're playing, especially in a smaller league like the Q. Look at Mike Hoffman, he was a league leader at both 19 AND 20, and he's just barely seeing any success in Bingo. This guy isn't worth much of a look other than to fill a spot in Bingo.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I was a huge BM hater at the beginning of the year, but that was before this rebuild began. I love everything he has done from the Fisher trade right up to this Da Costa signing. I think with Murray we're best to take it one year at a time. I hope he keeps the ball rolling and somehow moves out a couple more bad contracts...Gon char, Kuba.. I'm looking at you... The future is bright in Ottawa guys. There's a lot of reasons to be excited about this team.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[All this Bryan Murray love is completely out of proportion. It doesn't take a genius to try to sign a guy everyone else also wants to sign and throw a maximum contract at him. DeCosta is coming to ottawa because our team blows and our forward prospects are very weak. He's coming to the team that affords him the best chance to play right away. No need to be erecting statues of Bryan Murray.]]></description>

Having Gonchar on our roster to start the season may actually work in our favor. If we keep him for the first quarter of the season, that would give Rundblad some time in Bingo to transition his game to North America.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The Murray haters are still there and can make a fairly strong case. His mistakes have been high profile ones like Kovalev and Gonchar. That said, he has been quietly restocking this team along the way. That's why this doesn't have to be a 5 year rebuild. Oh I know chirp but the Kovalev signing was probably Eugene and for Goncahr I didn't quit on him if you bring the right asset he can be a dominate D-Man]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think the signing of Da Costa takes some of the pressure off us regarding the draft. It gives us more options that's for sure. There is no definitive NEED for us to draft a centre with one of the two first rounders. Whilst I don't thinking the signing bumps us off the belief that Strome is our guy (if that is what we think) it does make it easier for us to draft a winger with our first pick.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Nice signing!! Now, if we really wanna impress, lets go after Philip-Michael Devos from the Gatineau Olympiques... This 20 yo centre was never drafted, yet he finished first in all LHJMQ and many consider him a late bloomer who can really play at the NHL level. This singing would surely give even more depth to the Sens rebuild, and also reach the Gatineau fanbase, wich they have failed to do in past years... What do you think????]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I happen to be going to the game this Saturday... just makes it more interesting. Now if we could only get rid of those bloody, drunken, obnoxious Leaf fans then it would be much better. With Da Costa & previous Wacey Hamilton that's like 2 extra picks this year... to go along with the 12 Sens already have. Question is -- who on the team now becomes redundant. Not saying Da Costa makes the team right away.. he probably will need some AHL experience.. but this does put an interesting spin on who the Sens could add to the Nashville 1st round pick they have to move up in the draft?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Come to think of it, you don't even need to play a game to burn a year off your contract. You'll get any signing bonuses, but if you don't play, you don't get your salary. So an 18 year old who signs a 3-year deal then plays 2 more sesons in Junior will still need a new contract 3 years after he originally signed the deal, but the team has only payed for one year of NHL service (excluding "just breathing" type bonuses).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ We honestly need to stop blaming these past few years on Murray.. He inherited a good but old team team... To anyone that could look a few years ahead this was always going to happen no matter what... Now if we are in this position in 3 years from now, then we can blame Murray, but so far the fact that we have been mediocre the past little while, falls squarely on Muckler and not Murray. Murray made small mistakes in his trades, but in no way hurt this team long term and the FA signings (Kovalev, Gonchar) scream of Melnyk interference...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ There are a whole lot of things at play here that are easily confused: 1. The length of eligibility under the Entry Level System (ELS) depends on your age when you sign your first contract. Da Costa being 21 (he turns 22 in July), he will be restricted for 3 seasons. 2. The 10 game in one season loop-hole is only applicable to junior-eligible 18 & 19 year olds, allowing teams to push that 3-year clock on restricted status by a year. 3. wrt the contract, if a player plays one game, they burn a year of their contract. If when the contract expires, & the player is still part of the ELS, then there are still restrictions on how much they can be compensated and their FA status is restricted. 4. Being that Da Costa will play less than 25 games this season, he will still be eligible for the Calder next year]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["I mean really who else out there would you want when it comes to being in a building phase?" Jim Nill Paul Fenton Those two names come to mind. Both have been keeping their teams competitive through the cap era and various budget and team constraints. I'd personally rather see Murray removed, if only so that he understands there are consequences to mediocrity and underachieving. Losing his job is that consequence and it would help him reflect on having to put large amounts of thought into contract signings and player evaluations. As for the kid, wait and see. Results will prove whether this is a good signing.]]></description>

The player expected going back to Binghamton would be either Bobby Butler, Erik Condra, or Colin Greening. Either way the player going back will be gearing up for the playoffs in Binghamton and will be joined by others come playoff time.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Murray is one of the best builders in the NHL. He's proven time and time again that he's capable of building a scouting staff that drafts well and luring college free agents to sign with his teams. I mean really who else out there would you want when it comes to being in a building phase? It's not like Ottawa is one move away from a Stanley Cup right now. Even if as rumoured he's only around in an advisory capacity next year I guess that would be sufficient. I think the organization would very much regret letting him go if they were to lose all the positives he does bring to the organization in terms of finding young talent.]]></description>
