Quinn and Renney were well respected hockey guys too that Lowe managed to hoodwink. Didn't mean squat.
More credibility won't automatically mean the rush of free agents, or players waiving their NTC to go there...there is enough of the old regieme (Lowe) still lurking in the shadows, responsible for the disgrace of an organization, still around for that to happen. Until it does happen, outside of some more structure and discipline (like Renney and Quinn brought in), he'll have an uphill battle still because he needs all around experienced players to change the culture there, and they won't be coming right away, if at all.
I wonder if we'll ever hear from Lowe...he has to be steaming still at his demotion.
