| Sens GM Murray asks a ref what's wrong with his team. |
OTTAWA — Ottawa Senators GM Bryan Murray told reporters today that would will trade the team’s most accomplished player, lifelong Senator Daniel Alfredsson to send his club a message.
“I’ll do it, don’t think I won’t — just try me” snapped Bryan “The Brain” Murray to reporters.
Although the Sens’ lackluster play has sent them to the basement of their division, one would assume that team captain and fan favourite, Daniel Afredsson would be the only Senator with job security — especially after recently recording his 1,000th career point. Bryan Murray feels differently.
“I don’t care if he has 2000 points. This team needs a wake-up call, and trading our franchise player is the best way to reinforce that I’m the General Manager.
Trade speculation has been growing around the Senators, and the pressure mounting on Murray as his off-season pick-ups, Gonchar and Kovalev, haven’t lived up to expectations. Murray’s options remain limited.
“Who else am I going to trade, Fisher? I can’t, even just the thought of it feels like sin. No — barring an Alfredsson trade, I don’t know how else to scare this team straight — unless I bring back Redden,” said Murray.
The backlash from Senators fans has reached dangerous new heights. They are threatening to start an online petition with the intent of blocking a potential Alfredsson trade.
