Hockey Talk From The TSN Insiders

01/08/2014 at 11:04am EST

TSN Hockey Insiders Bob McKenzie, Pierre LeBrun and Darren Dreger gathered for the latest installment of Insider Trading and the topics discussed included the Buffalo Sabres general manager search, the resurfacing of former Toronto Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson, Team Canada's captain and the Edmonton Oilers asking price for Sam Gagner.

Who will become the new general manager of the Buffalo Sabres?

McKenzie: The very clear front-runner and Pat LaFontaine's first choice is Ottawa Senators' assistant general manager, Tim Murray. As of Tuesday evening, no formal offer had been made to Murray and no contract negotiations have taken place as of yet. However, it is clear LaFontaine would like Murray to be the guy. In related news, Boston Bruins assistant general manager Jim Benning's window of permission to talk to the Sabres expired Tuesday. He is now out of the picture, there are also other finalists that have been told they are no longer part of the mix.
