[Rumor] Canucks kicking tires on Douglas Murray

Meh, pretty much just telling us we're one of any number of teams discussing a deal with him. It's the same with Alberts, who we've been looking at re-signing. If we go with Murray over someone like Alberts or Fistric, it'll have to come on a value contract due to our cap space and the limited/specialized role he'd have to play.

With Douglas Murray, you have to use him in the right situations. If you expect him to be a mobile D who moves the puck and pinches, he's going to get beat... If you leave him in a shutdown role staying back then he can be a VERY useful D-man and can punish the opposing team's forwards all night. All depends on what the defence coach does with him in whether he'd be useful or not.

I would love Douglas Murray on this team. His stay at home defensive style is something this team lacks, and can be put in many different situations with our dmen. Reminds me a lot of how Salo plays in his own zone. Not to mention would add some great depth.

Edit: For the people that say they would rather Alberts than Murray, LOL.
