The Montreal Canadiens have reached an agreement in principle with free agent defenceman Douglas Murray on a one-year contract worth $1.5 million. The 33-year-old Swede split last season between the San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins, scoring one goal and adding five assists in 43 games. In eight NHL seasons with the Sharks and Penguins Murray has registered seven goals and 55 assists. Murray is coming off a four-year deal he signed with San Jose prior to the 2009-10 season worth an average annual value of $2.5 million. Wilmer Difo Nationals Jersey . R.J.

Max Scherzer Nationals Jersey .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play. A pitching-rich slate sets up nicely with the beginning of a series at Coors Field, although you might not be able to dip into the ace pool while still getting several players in the Dodgers-Rockies game.PitchingEliteHow much do I really need to tell you about the excellence of Jose Fernandez, Madison Bumgarner, and Jacob deGrom? Sure, Fernandez bookended his July with starts of six and five earned runs, but he allowed four in 20.3 innings in between and still struck out 46 batters with a 6.6 K:BB ratio for the month (31 IP). Bumgarner hasnt allowed more than four earned runs in a single start all year and has a 1.71 ERA since May 1.? deGrom fanned more than five just once in his first six starts and yet hes been under five just once in his last 12 (86 in 76.7 IP).Carlos Carrasco has the ability to be included in the above group, but he hasnt quite been that guy consistently this year. He hasnt fanned more than six in any July start and only passed six innings once. I still trust him, especially in a start against the Twins. It looked like he was about to kick it into high gear at the end of June (1.52 ERA, 35 Ks in 29.7 IP), but a good-not-great July tamped that excitement down a bit. He still only had a 2.22 ERA in July, but with just 23 strikeouts and a 2.1 K:BB ratio over 28.3 IP.It was a bumpy return from the disabled list for Gerrit Cole as he went just four innings and allowed five runs (four earned), but that looks more like a rust-removal outing now after back-to-back gems, including a complete game which a near-Maddux (hey, if we can fawn over near-no-hitters, we can point out near-Madduxes... or Maddii). The Braves have baseballs worst OPS against righties at just .668. They dont strike out a ton (23rd-highest at 19.7 percent), but Cole could finally get that Maddux even if it only comes with six or seven 7 Ks.SolidDavid Price has an elite-level projected game score, but the reliability of him registering those kinds of scores this year just hasnt been there. He has eclipsed a 60 game score in six of his last 10, but the other four are 10, 48, 35, and 29 -- all wretched starts. Last year, Price registered just five sub-50 game score outings all season. He has eight in 2016. Hes still very good, just not as surefire as previous seasons.Masahiro Tanaka has been similar to Price in that hes either excellent or blah with game scores of 69, 51, 38, 72, 27, 68, 66, and 39 in his last eight. His 0.8 HR/9 is a career-best which helps mitigate some of sting from his drop in strikeout rate. That said, his swinging strike rate is down a negligible 0.4 percent, so there could even be some strikeouts on the way.Yu Darvish and Lance McCullers are a pair of strikeout studs who help you forget their flaws: home runs and walks, respectively. Both have three straight starts with game scores north of 55 (McCullers has been at 60+ for each of his). Darvish has logged 26 strikeouts in 16.3 innings while McCullers has 28 in 19.3. Both have tough matchups as they AL East powerhouses, but they also have the skill to make them matchup-proof. Darvish has yet to go more than six innings in a start while McCullers runs up big pitch counts via the walks and has averaged just under six innings per start.Matt Shoemaker had a couple of clunkers in July. The track record likely leads to more freaking out every time he struggles, but I need to see consistent struggles paired with a sharp drop in swinging strike rate before I start panicking. He still had a 12 percent mark in July even with outings of three and one strikeout. Hes hammered Oakland twice this year.Zach Davies has just two sub-50 game scores in his last 10 starts, averaging a 61 while putting up a 2.40 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 63.7 innings. Hes not a huge strikeout guy, logging 56 during the run, but he can hit you with a big night. He has a pair of nine-strikeout outings and a seven-in-six-innnings start in these last 10. The Padres deserve credit for being better this year, but they excel versus lefties, so the right-handed Davies gets to face an offense with a 29th-ranked OPS of just .670, including a 25 percent strikeout rate.A rough final inning saddled Adam Wainwright with three of his four earned runs at the Mets in his last start, more than doubling his July earned run total which finished at seven in 35.7 innings (1.77 ERA). Hes been the Adam Wainwright of old over his last 13 starts with a 2.79 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 22 percent strikeout rate in 87 innings. Its still not an elite DFS profile, just as it wasnt in 2014 when we saw him post 2.38 ERA for 227 innings. Success these days relies on run prevention and wins, making him more volaatile than the strikeout studs who are so valuable in DFS.ddddddddddddTanner Roark is another one of those guys who gets an unnecessary overreaction to his bad starts as if theyre automatically the beginning of the end. I get it, I also worry sometimes about the guys who rely on weak contact to be successful. But virtually every aspect of Roarks season has been even better than his 2014 breakout. Only his walk rate has gone the other way and its still at a reasonable seven percent mark. Arizona can be a tough venue on anyone, but hes toting a career-best 51 percent groundball rate and hasnt fallen victim to the league-wide surge in homers with a 0.6 HR/9, down from 1.4 last year when he really struggled in a transition to the bullpen.Spot Starters and StreamersI mightve jumped the gun on Jason Hammel wearing down like past years. After an awful 10-run trip to New York which followed some instability to close June, I thought he might be rushing toward another second half collapse. He has a career 5.05 ERA in the second half, including a 4.31 in 2014 and 5.10 last year. Compare that to a 3.99 first half mark with 3.01, 2.86, and 3.46 in 2014, 2015, and this year. His offseason focus was to improve his durability over the season and endurance in starts so maybe its starting to pay off already.Matt Moore wouldve been here, but hes not starting Tuesday now that hes a Giant and its Bumgarners day. I will say the move to SF adds some DFS intrigue.AvoidBrandon McCarthy. Because of Coors. Its always because of Coors.I can see how Yordano Ventura, Sean Manaea, Dylan Bundy, and even Anibal Sanchez are beyond consideration given their recent performance and/or opponent, but you dont have to stretch too far to see some bad outings in that group. I wouldnt run away from hitting options who set up well against them.HittingSix of our seven highest-rated overall teams are on the road, which is interesting. I dont think its inherently negative, though obviously its often better to be home. No team checks in above seven despite a game in Coors (and the Rockies werent the one team in that top seven).Lets just start with that game in Colorado. The ratings are muted because McCarthy and Jon Gray are going and both have enough stuff to survive Coors. Alas, its still Coors and Ill still look at the top options for both clubs: Nolan Arenado, Carlos Gonzalez, Charlie Blackmon, and Trevor Story for Colorado and Corey Seager and Justin Turner for the Dodgers. Maybe even power-happy options Joc Pederson and Yasmani Grandal for L.A., too.Im surprised Boston didnt get a better rating against Wade LeBlanc. He is, after all, still Wade LeBlanc. In just 25.3 innings, hes allowed an absurd 2.1 HR/9 rate. Sure, that should come down, but how surprised would you be if it didnt? The standbys who have likely helped you win a lot this year will be top considerations on Tuesday including Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts, but also lefties David Ortiz and Jackie Bradley Jr.San Francisco earned the top rating with a date in Philly against Zach Eflin. He did throw a pair of complete games in July, but he just allows so much contact with a meager 12 percent strikeout rate. Lefties strike out an impossibly low seven percent of the time against Eflin, meaning Id really consider a stack of Giants southpaws: Brandon Belt, Brandon Crawford, Joe Panik and maybe Denard Span. I think righties Buster Posey and Hunter Pence are in play, too.Robbie Ray consistently allows hard contact at a level that makes him exceedingly difficult to rely upon. But this is the hitters section, so love that about him. Righties are especially strong against him this year, so scoop up shares of Wilson Ramos, Anthony Rendon, and Jayson Werth. Trea Turner has been hitting well of late, but its speed-based production so its not always DFS-reliable.I like that Mike Foltynewicz has made some improvements this year, but he hasnt done enough to make me fearful of using hitters against him in DFS. Lefties in particular have mashed him, but Im open to all of their studs in the outfield: Gregory Polanco, Starling Marte, and Andrew McCutchen. Take a look at lefties Matt Joyce and John Jaso, too.Most likely to go yard: Wilson Ramos.Little bit off the radar, but hes raked lefties to the tune of a .917 OPS with a .253 ISO and five homers in 84 PA.Most likely to swipe a bag: Jonathan Villar.Sometimes the easiest answer is the right one. He hasnt just been a speed-only guy, either, with a .295/.375/.434 line including eight homers in 432 PA. ' ' '
