Obviously if Lowe fails to either trade for some good players, or make a UFA splash, he should be fired.

Yep, it seemed fairly obvious that first rounders in this year's draft were not exactly highly valued commodities. Heck, Vokoun is signed for 4 years at a reasonable rate and he ended up getting dealt for the same thing as 2 months of Tkachuk at the deadline.
