Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk would like to see Bryan Murray raise the Stanley Cup as the clubs general manager. Joel Embiid Jersey . After extending Murrays contract through the 2015-16 season, Melnyk also extended that window and put something of a timer on that ultimate goal. "We think that we have all the core group in place," Melnyk said on a conference call Monday. "I think if we were on the same trajectory as we have been over the last few years, that its ultimately going to lead to a championship-type team." Murray, who was given the additional title of president of hockey operations, agreed to serve as an adviser for two seasons after his tenure as general manager is up. After building this group over the past six-plus seasons, he hopes not to have to wait too long for a title. "I think obviously the objective is to do it when Im here as a general manager," Murray said. "The core we have is a very good core, its young." And Murray knows that inexperience can lead to growing pains. The Senators struggled for much of the first half of this season, going 14-17-7 before a recent run put them within two points of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Success made working out an extension for Murray easier because Melnyk wanted to negotiate during an "upswing" and "ensure that nobody ever would think that this was some kind of knee-jerk reaction to what was not an optimal beginning to the season." The timing seemingly had more to do with the departure of assistant GM Tim Murray, Bryans nephew, who was hired as the Buffalo Sabres head man last week. In addition to extending Murray, the Senators promoted Pierre Dorion and Randy Lee to assistant general managers. Dorion, who was already in charge of scouting and drafting, takes on contract-negotiation duties, while Lee, who was in charge of player development, also becomes GM of Ottawas AHL affiliate in Binghamton. "Its a great day for all of us going forward," Murray said. More moves could be coming down the line to bolster the hockey operations department, though not on the management side. Murray said the Senators could perhaps use "another set of eyes" in the scouting department. "We lost a pretty good evaluator in Tim, so do we have enough?" Murray said. "I believe we do for now. If we have to do something in the future because of other coverage, then well address it at that time." For now, Murray can go about his job with some extra security. Hes considering moves before the trade deadline to bolster Ottawas playoff hopes, and he and his assistants will have some work to do on current contracts. "We understand that weve got about five players that are important parts of the present team that we have to make a decision on and do a contract for," he said. "Were kind of setting ourselves up to do that." Winger Milan Michalek and defenceman Chris Phillips are set to be unrestricted free agents this summer, while goaltender Robin Lehner will be a restricted free agent. Captain Jason Spezza, winger Bobby Ryan and defenceman Marc Methot are up in the summer of 2015. "As we go forward over the next few months well make contact with the agents and see in a couple cases if we can extend them," Murray said without naming names. "A couple of them we have to wait until July 1. But internally were making those decisions and well be in the best possible position, I believe to do (it), and then it will be up to the players agent to deal with us." Spezza and Ryans deals end a year before Murrays. Melnyk and Murray have discussed potential succession plans, but Monday wasnt the time they wanted to discuss that inevitability. "We just have to now kind of over the next little while evaluate people and decide what may happen," Murray said. "But thats a little ways down the road, and I hope we have a lot of success between now and that decision being made." Darryl Dawkins Jersey . With the Rangers already leading 2-0, Carey Price was taken down early in the second period of New Yorks 7-2 pounding of the Canadiens in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference final on Saturday afternoon. Robert Covington Jersey . The 36-year-old said a few months ago he would hang up his boots at the end of the season, but has since changed his mind. "Its a pity the season is ending now, as I am in good physical shape and enjoying myself," Di Natale said. http://www.official76ersproshop.com/kids-amir-johnson-76ers-jersey/ . 11 Ana Ivanovic and American Sloane Stephens, and former world No.COLUMBUS, Ohio - Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins didnt have to wait this long the last time he was drafted. Nashville Predators rookie forward Filip Forsberg suddenly has another new car to go with the Jaguar he just bought two weeks ago.The players had the distinction of being the last two selected in the NHL All-Star Game Draft on Friday night. And both were awarded a new car in a departure from the past two All-Star drafts, when only the last player selected earned the consolation prize.You dont get to do too many of these things, so you have to enjoy it, and it was a lot of fun, said Nugent-Hopkins, who was the No. 1 pick in the 2011 NHL amateur draft. My last draft, I didnt have to wait too long, so it was a little different.Nugent-Hopkins was actually the second-to-last player selected in an online fan poll taken during the draft. He will play for Team Foligno, named after Columbus Blue Jackets star Nick Foligno.Forsberg was the last of the 45 players selected, and joins the team led by Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan TToews. Dario Saric Jersey. Team Foligno and Team Toews will compete in the skills competition on Saturday and the All-Star Game on Sunday.Forsberg was one of six rookies selected to compete in the skills competition, before being added the All-Star roster on Thursday to fill in for injured Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby.Hopefully, I can plan in another All-Star Game and climb a couple of steps in the draft in the future, said Forsberg, who leads NHL rookies with 40 points (15 goals, 25 assists). And I got a car out of it. Its not too bad either.Hes just not sure what to do with his growing car collection.Ive got to talk to my family if they want a new car, said the Swedish-born player. You can never have too many cars, I guess.There was added drama as the draft reached the final two rounds, with Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin openly campaigning to be the last pick by insisting he wanted to win the car.It was kind of funny that he was still there, Forsberg said. It would have been an honour to be drafted before Ovi.
