Bryan Murray is a well-respected man around the NHL. He has been in the game for decades, and he's been with the Ottawa Senators since 2005-06, as well as being their General Manager since 2007-08. There's no doubt that people like him and he'll have a great legacy once he's gone from hockey.
When the news came that he had stage 4 colon cancer last year, it hit the hockey world hard. Senators fans were understandably upset, and even if you don't like him as a GM, it would be horrible to ever wish something like this upon him.
