Bob Murray has jumped the shark.
At least that’s what it feels like. It’s been a hectic week for the longtime Anaheim Ducks general manager; between statements about the status of his head coach to a bevy of roster transactions, if nothing else Murray is making headlines.
Probably not ideal headlines, but headlines nonetheless.
Where to start? The Ducks lost 12 games in a row, a feat matched only by some truly dreadful NHL teams dating back to the 1940s; Andrew Cogliano, a fan favorite, was traded to Dallas; Luke Schenn, a predictably bad free agent signing, was shipped to Vancouver; Pontus Aberg, one of only a handful of Ducks that has scored this year, was dealt to Minnesota; and to top it off, Murray traded prospect Joseph Blandisi to Pittsburgh to re-acquire Derek Grant, a centerman he could’ve retained for peanuts during the offseason.
