I love the fact that Kevin Lowe is still there after all the mess he helped he create, it's unbelievable, really.

Ya, I agree with this. The other picks were fine but they really didn't need another of the same player.
A stud dman like Murray would make a big difference right now. Even if he would be super young still. They better hope Nurse develops quickly.
