Anaheim Ducks general manager Bob Murray has always been one to express desire for depth on defense. He has acted upon that desire over recent years, acquiring Stephane Robidas and James Wisniewski at the past two trade deadlines.
Murray has not however been quick to trade away depth in order to acquire top end blue-line talent.
The Ben Lovejoy for Simon Despres deal was a no brainer, but when recent trade deadlines have rolled around Murray has not acted upon acquiring the big name defensemen like Tyler Myers or Jeff Petry.
