First of all, you choose to sign Lowry to his new extension because he’s the leader in the dressing room. That’s what the ‘C’ on his jersey tells you.

He’s an example you want all your young players to follow, and his experience navigating the highs and lows of hockey’s top league is invaluable when you want a professional tone established for the team.
