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.

Good. They drafted him. They have a plan for him and they have the right to see that plan out. This isn't a free agent, this isn't a veteran that doesn't want to take a demotion.
This is a 7th round kid who has yet to play a game in the NHL. If he plans on ever playing he should learn to follow the chain of command. He has absolutely no right to say he would rather play in Sweden rather the NA.
