DownUndaCanuck Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 What the team really needs is players who can step up their play in the post-season. Contrary to the whole "formula" thing proposed by Don Cherry, success comes through having a couple of clutch top offensive players who thrive in the heat of the moment plus a depth guy or two, who play bigger than they are and are able to get the job done in higher stakes, along with a goalie who gets hot at the right time. I think if somehow the team could get Bergenheim (17 points in 23 playoff games) and Marcel Goc as part of any potential deal for Lu they could really be set for the playoffs. Sean Bergenheim, while somewhat small, really steps up his play. I also came across an article on advanced stats that really praises his ability to drive play from the defensive end of the ice against high levels of competition (http://thehockeywrit...goc-underrated/); it's really this kind of ability to drive opponents back and shut them down when it counts, plus the timely goal, that really gets the job done.

Jester13 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Goaltending and healthy players IMO gives you more of a chance to win the cup than a grey beard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Are All Cucks Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Smyth would work out. Highly doubt Tambellini would trade him here though: a fan-favourite to an arch-rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Although I don't really believe/agree with this point, there are some veterans that I wouldn't mind seeing the Canucks pick up if possible... Vinny Prospal.. Ryan Smyth.. Daniel Alfredsson.. Brenden Morrow.. Teemu Selanne/Saku Koivu.. Mike Knuble... All depends who is where and what is going on on April 3rd. Adding experience for the sake of making the team is better is good. Adding experience for adding experience and not NECESSARILY making the team better would be foolish and wasteful.
