ShakyWalton Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Always liked Murray when he played for us...didnt know he was involved in the Las Vegas bid...good luck.. Las Vegas NHL owner Bill Foley has hired longtime adviser Murray Craven as the expansion team's senior vice-president. Craven will be responsible for establishing the club's top minor-league affiliate in the American Hockey League, developing the practice facility in Summerlin, Nevada, building up facilities at T-Mobile Arena and overseeing projects at the request of general manager George McPhee. The 52-year-old former NHL player has been Foley's right-hand man throughout the expansion process, which began with a season-ticket drive in early 2015 and culminated with the awarding of a franchise in June. Foley said last month that Craven is a "street-smart guy" who he wanted to be involved with the organization. Craven played 18 NHL seasons for the Red Wings, Flyers, Whalers, Canucks, Blackhawks and Sharks from 1982-1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm a little young to fully remember him as a Canuck. More so as a shark. He has a good long career. Lots of points, lots of penalty minutes. Im so curious about the Vegas team. It's always so exciting when a new team comes in. What's the name? What does the jersey look like? Who is coaching? Who is playing? What style? so fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift-4 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 One of the quiet leaders of the '94 run. Is steady play was so stabilizing for the team. Good luck, Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 yup he was brought in 94 to help us get a proven center for a run and it worked with other trades made for the playoff run which made Pat Quinn one of the best if not the best GM we have ever had!!!Craven did his job and did it well.Good to see him getting a good job with vegas!!!

Hairy Kneel Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 For a team so disrespected (hated) throughout the league we sure do produce a lot of NHL management/coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neko Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Wow that name brings back memories. Half the posters here probably don't remember Igor Larionov either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
