–Bryan Murray continues to emphasize he’ll do little or nothing at the trade deadline:
I know that we’re not doing much … if anything. I keep watching the team and I’m fairly happy with our young people with the way they’ve played. If something comes up that is of interest, we’ll certainly explore it.
And:
I’m not saying I won’t (make a move), but our kids have played well and we hope they’re going to get one or two guys back. Based on that, our depth will be better, and we’ve got a whole bunch of guys now that have shown they can play games in the NHL.

I would say pretty much after my second year of prep school I talked to [former Ice Head Coach and General Manager Kyle] Wallack, who was our coach last year and he just told me I had a really good year at prep school and it’s time to move on and challenge myself. I talked to a couple other people as well and they said it’s a great move and I agree with them. The league is unbelievable and it definitely prepares you for college at the highest level.
