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.

That makes more sense for sure. Still, Murray could have handled it better, I think.
Basically the reverse situation of Kylington, no? AIK could have kept him in Sweden, but allowed him to go to NA. Probably don't want a potentially mopey player hanging around, which might be the case with this kid in the AHL.
