Question: It's obvious from looking at the roster. There are a lot of young defensemen and a few young goalies. What kind of mindset will you go into training camp

Default Murray, on young players (ITK)

Question: It's obvious from looking at the roster. There are a lot of young defensemen and a few young goalies. What kind of mindset will you go into training camp with, in terms of these guys? Will you have a complete open mind or do you have thoughts about how many young guys might stick?

MURRAY: Certainly there are roster spots available, and it's a great opportunity for the players because of a new coach coming in. The philosophy I will have coming into training camp is certainly to have a very open mind. Talking to the players, it will be, `Show me, guys, what you can do and we'll make the proper decision for the success of this organization.' We'll always do what's right for the team. That's the most important thing they need to know. The opportunity for the players coming in, as far as young guys are concerned, this is a tremendous situation for them.

There are no preconceived ideas and no preconceived opinions of players. Certainly I'm listening to everybody talking upstairs (in the front office), but everyone is saying the same thing. We've had players in the organization the last couple years. We've had development programs going on this year, at a couple different times, and all of these young players have shown strides along the way. Where will they be in September? It's a wait-and-see attitude and hopefully good things are going to be shown by all the players. There are going to be bumps there in training camp but we know we have talent and we know we have some good skill in the organization, but we have to do the right thing for the player and for the organization.
