Well, Anaheim Ducks fans it’s time to start preparing your goodbyes to Matt Beleskey……at least if you are Bob Murray that is.
When talking to reporters yesterday, Murray said the following, as reported by Yahoo Sports:
“We made a really fair offer. God bless him.”
The comment comes after a week of back and forths regarding the player and a possible extension, despite Beleskey being hailed as the top forward in the off season’s free agents.
Murray will tell you, however, he tried his best,
“We made an offer and they rejected it immediately,” said Murray. “I said that at the trade deadline, that I doubted it was going to work. They obviously feel like they’re going to do a lot better [in free agency]. I’m very comfortable with the offer we made.”
“I was a big part of drafting him. It’s always difficult when we’ve drafted, we’ve developed, we’ve done a lot of work here, and we’ve turned him into a pretty good hockey player.”
“I could have traded him a day before the deadline,” remarked Murray. “We had a deal, and I just said ‘no, that was wrong for my hockey team. Then he played very well in the playoffs. We didn’t get there, but we almost got there.”
So there it is! What do you think is going to happen next? Are you sad to see him go?
