You think Murray is going to do anything to help this team compete right now? Or will he stand pat, wait for the injured guys to return and hope that we haven't fallen too far behind to catch up? He should get some scoring help since that's what this team has needed for awhile now, but I'm sure he'll do nothing and we'll far too far behind to reach the playoffs. Don't have a lot of hope with this team right now with they way they play, no effort or heart at all.
If I were Murray, I'd be looking for a 3rd line center. A real one.
There is nothing he can do, realistically, to turn things around with this many players missing, but these injuries are emphasizing just how much Vermette is a face-off specialist and little else. He's not contributing in other ways, and that isn't going to change when the team is healthy.
Even if we assume Kesler and Getzlaf are going to be getting 20 minutes a game, when the team is healthy, they need a 3C who can actually play.
Edit: Also, get Boll the f*** out of the line-up and try to put together a 4th line that can play more than 4 minutes a game. Again, that will be helpful when the team is healthy and it will help now.
