I have no memory of this person at all.

Whitney always talks about murley on his podcast. Allegedly a hilarious guy - by Whitney standards.

What I remember about him is that I think his last NHL action was when he injured himself in a pointless fight. I forget if he broke his hand or scrambled his brains but he never made it back to the big show after that. At least not with the pens anyways. I know he sucked and all, but that's a rough way to exit the league.

Yep. Same recollection. Think it was his shoulder.

I remember Murley barley making the team as a rookie along with Ryan Malone. They both got in fights the final exhibition game I guess to show how bad they wanted it. I don't think he lasted long with the Pens and really don't recall him much in the NHL. He was an RPI guy taken in rd 2 or 3 I think. He was supposed to be good defensively, high hockey IQ and seems like he was a center in college.

Yes, he was one of those 2nd round picks that didn't really pan out. Still, making a living for two decades playing a sports and getting to see the world a little doesn't sound too bad.

His next stop is the N. Korean league.

Good comparable for Conor Sheary...Viktor Arvidsson (https://www.hockey-reference.com/player ... dvi01.html). Sheary better points per game but Arvidsson had much worse centers...Arvidsson is a better defensive player...

Nashville ask: 2 yrs x $2.75 mil per
Player ask: 1 yr, $4.5 mil

Hard to imagine Sheary having a stronger case than Arvidsson .

Postby **Pavel Bure** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 9:35 am

Well they have more time to get it done

Pittsburgh Penguins
D Brian Dumoulin (July 24)
F Conor Sheary (Aug. 4)

That's when the arbitration hearings are scheduled

Postby **grunthy** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 9:49 am

Sheary gets 3.5 mill or under.

Dumoulin gets 3 or under.

Postby **Troy Loney** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 9:51 am

That's where I think it should be too, but without seeing the number they've exchanged, its' tough to predict.

Postby **grunthy** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 9:59 am

I'm guessing the combined cap hit between the two will end up between 5.5 and 6.

I'll take the over.

Postby **Gaucho** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 10:04 am

Easily.

Postby **Troy Loney** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 10:08 am

Over Under 7.5 ?

Over Under 7.5 ?

Over.

Postby **Troy Loney** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 10:19 am

I'm under. I think they're both between 3.25 and 3.75. I think Sheary gets less than everyone things, and Dumolin more than the consensus thinks.

Postby **NTP66** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 10:20 am

If they combine for less than $7m, I'll consider them very good deals for us.

if I'm Dumo and I get less cash than Sheary I'm firing my agent

Postby **dodint** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 11:04 am

I'm hoping if it's over $3.5M GMJR dumps him.

The first thing said was not that intelligent.

The second quote: Yes.

how?

Dumo was a much bigger part of the two Cups than Sheary was. I think he's earned a larger contract through his consistency
