Murray on Wikstrand: "I told him he could go back and be a grocery clerk. He could play in the beer leagues but he could not play hockey...

Murray con’t “... in any shape or form if he doesn’t play for the Ottawa organization and that’s the way it will be."
Basically Murray won't sign his transfer papers to allow him to play in Europe under IIHF rules. In other words, the Senators are blocking the from kid playing professional hockey.

But if the kid really isn't loving life in North America, would rather play in Sweden, and wants to go home why be a dick about him and block his path.
Maybe his mental wellness isn't really great in North America, and he feels it is better for him to be in Sweden.
Don't pay him, assign him to the Swedish league, and call it a day. It's not like the kid is demanding a trade or wants a new contract, he just wants to go back home.
