Murray's Swedish mother is a daughter of Lasse Björn, an ice hockey defenceman, two-time world champion and Olympic bronze medalist.

In his short time there that season, he gained praise for his physical presence, as well as solid defense, from such San Jose organization members as TV color commentator Drew Remenda.

[citation needed] In late September 2008, he agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Sharks supposedly worth US$10 million.
