Strapped for cap space, cash and with three key pieces of the Ducks' future up for raises this summer, Murray will face a decision this season that will define his tenure in Anaheim.
Let's get some things out of the way. I am well aware that I am Murray's biggest critic. This post isn't really about firing Murray, although that might be warranted given the circumstances. Rather, this is a post about where Murray currently finds himself in his tenure as GM of the Ducks. Whether you buy into the Sod moniker or you believe Murray is too harshly judged for circumstances he can't fully control, there's no denying we've reached the apex of his work in Anaheim.
