“You come at the King, You best not miss” - Omar
I have seen a lot of confusion on twitter regarding why certain players did not make the big squad despite having seemingly better preseason campaigns than those still with the team.
The simple answer is: Waivers.
The more detailed explanation is: Bob Murray got burned last season when he lost Stefan Noesen and Joseph Cramarossa to waivers. That is not to mention Chris Wagner in the previous year, who he luckily managed to get back. But I think the whole experience has, rightfully so, made him a little gun-shy when it comes to the wire and asset management.
