It will be a long year waiting for Murray to arrive, but when he does, it will be worth the wait.
Brett Murray was selected 99th overall in the fourth round by the Terry Pegula-owned Buffalo Sabres. Murray, a highly-talented left wing who currently plays for Carleton Place of the CCHL, was expected to be drafted in this general area. He will join the Lions in 2017.
Murray scored 19 goals and added 40 assists in 64 games in the very competitive Central Canada Hockey League. His size, 6’5” 216 pounds, and skill are impressive considering that he will not turn 18 until July 20.
