[Signing] Ryan Murray to sign ELC with Columbus
Per Rotoworld:
Ryan Murray - D - Blue Jackets
Ryan Murray and the Columbus Blue Jackets are close to agreeing to an entry-level contract.
It sounds like the two sides will agree to terms well before training camp. There's a good chance that Murray will be part of Columbus' opening game roster.

There is a lot of hype with him. I think it's good he is going to a team with a good D core. Makes up for the lack of offense. He will hopefully learn some good habits, and stay positive if they have a rough year or four.

So... this isn't actually a signing yet?
GO WINGS!
No, just a statement that they are close.

Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Yes absolutely! Haha sorry, I got excited, really looking forward to him developing into a franchise defenceman (hopefully!).

What are the chances of him making the Bluejackets this season???

Should be fairly good chance, Murray is almost NHL ready and so is Columbus.Originally Posted by Flyer Fan

I dunno... They have a reasonable D core that I don't know if they'll have room for him this year full time at least...
Wissy, Johnson, Tyutin, Aucoin, Nikitin, so that's 5 out of the 6 spots taken up. Then you have Savard, Moore, Holden, Goloubef...
Might not be a bad idea to give him 1 final year of juniors and another run at the WJC instead of sticking him in a bottom pairing role...

Yes he'll make the team, and he'll be scratched every now and then as is the norm for most rookies. The Jackets will go with 7 d-men like most teams.
Or they could learn from their past mistakes (brassard, Brule) and be patient with him, they arent going to be making a playoff push so may as well take your time and let the kids grow slowly and not in a constant losing environment
Those guys needed more time (actually Brassard wasn't even rushed since he debuted 2 years after being drafted), but Murray doesn't. He is ready for the NHL. His play in the Worlds showed it and he was a late birthday so he already has three years under his belt in the WHL. Plus, his WHL team is pretty bad (2nd least amount of wins last year, 22-40-10) so he'll be in a losing environment whether he is in the WHL or NHL. Murray will be fine in a bottom-pairing role, learning the ropes.
The whole team is almost NHL ready! LOL!
Yeah, I would think that ones got to be included in any top ten Lochism's list.
