Murray Clears Waivers
After suffering through an injury-riddled campaign that saw Glen Murray produce only 30 points in 63 games, the Boston Bruins have decided to part ways with the 16 year veteran.
Drafted in the first round, 18th overall by the Bruins in 1991, this Halifax Ontario native was a fixture on the power play and had his best season in 2003 when in 82 games he scored 44 goals and 92 points.
Murray, who also played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Los Angeles Kings in his career, is a two time All Star who has scored 337 goals and 314 assists in 1,009 games.
With one year left on his contract worth an expensive 4.15 million, none of the 29 other NHL teams showed any interest in picking up the 35 year old who some around the league believe is on the downside of his career. More than likely Boston, who recently signed young defenceman Dennis Wideman to a multi year deal, will buy out Murray.
Sundin To Make A Decision On August 1
The million- dollar question regarding the future of free agent Mats Sundin will be addressed on August 1.
After denying reports from a Swedish newspaper earlier this week that he agreed to a two- year 20 million deal with the Vancouver Canucks, Sundin’s agent JP Berry claimed that the former Leafs captain has still not decided on his plans for the coming season. Several teams are still showing interest in the 37 year-old Swede including his former team the Toronto Maple Leafs. Even at his advanced age, Sundin has shown no signs of slowing down as he scored 32 goals and 78 points in 74 games.
