Sharks waive Andrew Murray

Sharks waive Andrew Murray

According to the infallible Bob McKenzie, Andrew Murray has been put on waivers this morning. If a team puts in a claim, we won't know about it until tomorrow.

Weird move since the Sharks are currenly hurting for forwards, and Andrew Murray has been a good piece on the fourth line in our opinion.

Don't know quite what it means, but it's definitely fishy. Look for more information tomorrow.

John Buccigross's top 100 players in hockey (5 sharks)

John Buccigross's top 100 players in hockey (5 sharks)

Pretty good list

Sharks:

36. Joe Thornton: Only 32. He's a bigger Bernie Federko. The difference is Federko's numbers did not go down in the postseason, where Thornton's do. Still, a great career. Could get to 1,500 points. Would love to see him raise a Cup.

38. Logan Couture: Amazingly skilled player who has that bounce to his game that helps him come up big. Has 11 goals in 33 playoff games and he isn't even 22 yet. Big-time talent. Leads the Sharks in goals this year.

59. Dan Boyle: Miami University alum. A Brian Rafalski (Wisconsin Badgers) comparable. Similar stats, similar size, similar pedigree. In 39 playoff games with the Sharks, he has 34 points. That's extraordinary.

65. Joe Pavelski: Consistent, smart and dependable come playoff time. He's played hockey in Waterloo, Wis., and Worcester, Mass. Also, he is a 61 percent faceoff guy at home and a 61 percent faceoff guy on the road.

73. Patrick Marleau: Consistent, durable and pretty dependable whether it's the regular season or the playoffs.

Logan Couture joins Todd McLellan as Sharks Representatives at the 2012 All-Star Game

Logan Couture joins Todd McLellan as Sharks Representatives at the 2012 All-Star Game

Ah yes, NHL All-Star Game roster selection day.

That magical day where every fan across the League becomes offended. For he knows in his heart that his favorite team's players have been snubbed and shamed. He knows of conspiracies and he knows of the importance of exposing them.

And when the game rolls around later this month...well, he may tune in for a shift or two.

But today, yes today, he is incensed.

Congratulations to Logan Couture and Sharks Head Coach Todd McLellan for representing the Sharks this season in Ottawa. San Jose has gotten the majority of their production with a team effort thus far this year, and Couture's selection makes just as much sense as any-- Thornton may have better numbers, but from a marketing standpoint, getting the younger Couture on the big screen for the second straight year makes a whole lot of sense.

Where do you think Couture goes in this year's draft?
