Given all the buzz about the trade market, I thought it would be worthwhile to take a look at the transaction history of current Senators GM, Bryan Murray. I went through the Pro Sports Transactions database to search through all trades made during Bryan Murray's tenure, beginning with when he took over after John Muckler's firing. We can quickly get into hindsight mode very quickly when we begin to discuss trades, so I mainly wanted to use this post as a resource for all of you, and note some trends near the end.
