Well i think Murray is known as a defensive coach like Burns isnt he. Corvo has been thrust into top 4 situations, but with Redden Phillips Meszaros Volchenkov, i think he's more a role player. Exactly as LA fans described. His salary has to be put into context of the new higher salaries for young defensmen under a salary cap. He's better offensively than Pothier I think. He has moments of good defense. But he does have some good strengths.

I know we're sick of this, but i think you have to put Muckler into context. He didnt gut this team. It was the new cba that gutted the team. No one cares about that now, except you have to evaluate in that context if you are looking for the best interests of the team. Given we had too much talent for the new NHL, how do you get rid of 3 elite players in the most efficient way. Dont blame him because we had to get rid of 3 players, that makes no sense. He didnt choose to gut the team, if you listen to him, he is really angry about it as are many GMs.
