All this talk about how Murray is a penny pincher has been slowly dispelled since the Huberdeau signing IMO, Murray doesn’t seem to have any issues with handing out money in a variety of ways and it seems Craig Conroy has the gumption to use the different tools at hand to weaponize many aspects of the cap. Looking forward to his work over the next few days!

Murray doesn't simply give money away but he isn't afraid to spend it. Reality is, Conroy's price hasn't been met... with or without retention.
When things started to get serious with NJD Talks about Markstrom,he went to his camp to ensure he wasnt wasting anyone's time. Once NJD knew he would waive they went all wild and changed the structure of the agreement, trying to put pressure on Conroy. "Well you boy said he wanted to come here, so how about you take this instead." Jersey attempted to use to media to pressure the fresh GM to try and get him to make a mistake. I have reported this many times before. It didn't work, Fitz looks like a clown.
