4th round selection Steven Murray was a solid choice. A bit lanky and unpolished in terms of agility, he's nevertheless a great scorer. His sense of anticipation and patience are uncanny, and it leads to a lot of goals. As well, he's a VERY clean player. He can take all kinds of abuse without lashing back and hurting his team. Congrats on having such a talented player now in your system.
