Thanks Kardinal, Conacher actually got traded to Vancouver this year I think and he was promptly sent to Utica NY. Lets hope Tobias Lindberg puts up even half of those totals one day in the NHL

We'll never know what other offers Murray had, but there wasn't much of a market for Bishop so he had to take what he could get or lose him for nothing at the end of the season. I believe the draft pick that came with Conacher is the one used to select Tobias Lindberg who is currently playing for the Oshawa Generals. This season he was 67GP 32G 46A 78PTS +33 14PIMs.
it's too bad that IF Murray had a choice of the 2 small forwards on TB at the time that he didn't take Johnson over the small guy he got stuck with. I can't even remember his name, but he did score a goal vs. Montreal in the playoffs in the last seconds to move the game into OT to eventually win a playoff game. So there was that.
