Lowe comin' after Lou next?

Well, Kevin Lowe is nuts. Verified. Now with his target Vanek off
the table, word on the street is his next target could be our very own
#9, the Islanders Regret, the Pride of Minnesota himself.

I like the kid. We all do. He's going to be a good player for years
to come.

But damn. Four first round draft picks. Eight total in half that
time. You want to re-stock a franchise's pipeline? There ya go. And
Parise isn't going to make Edmonton anything less than one of the
worst teams in the league for at least the next two years.

That means not only extra first round picks, but likely high first
round picks in a couple of expected strong drafts.

I must say, it is tempting.

R.J.

Well, with that kind of thinking, you'd think Lou would be HOPING for
this.
