(Edmonton is said to be a possibility.) Will Murray go the Tampa route and can Craig (Hardly Inspirational) Hartsburg? How safe is Murray?

... the lockout ended - replacing Al Coates, who'd been running on the team on an interim basis after Bryan Murray's resignation - there were some interesting puzzle pieces already in place. Murray's staff had made two brilliant choices in the 2003 entry draft – to get both Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry with picks in the second half of the first round, an area where long-time draft...
