LAS VEGAS - "We made a really fair offer. God bless him," said a downtrodden Bob Murray of the Anaheim Ducks when speaking to reporters following Tuesday's general managers meeting.
Murray was referring to Matt Beleskey, of course.
After a week of reports saying he will, he won't, and/or he might re-sign with the Ducks, the GM officially closed the book on Beleskey time in Anaheim. The pending UFA is widely considered to be the top forward leading this off-season's bound to be overpaid free agent class. He posted career highs in the regular season (22 goals in 65 games) and playoffs (8 goals in 16 games).
