Eliminated!

Getting a good pick is definitely a high priority, but getting a good coach is as well. The fact is, the Sens do have a number of high picks on their roster already (Spezza, Heatley, Phillips, now Leclaire)... so adding another high pick is no guarantee of anything. He also added Campoli, who is a good cheap 23 year old d-man who looks ready to step up as a legit top 4 guy.
However, I still agree that Murray has screwed the pooch with this club. They can blame Muckler all they want, but Murray made consecutive poor coaching hires and allowed bad habits to form with some of their key players when he was behind the bench (Emery, Spezza). They can fix this problem internally, but it won't be easy.
