Is leadership what we're looking for? Granted, all of our rookies never seem to develop properly but it's not like we were sprouting diamonds when Koivu, the GREATEST MAN TO EVER WEAR THE C, was here. I'd say management is the problem here, not the locker room.
And besides which, this team is a lot more capable of being physical than we were last year against Philly already. I know that people have been saying that we need size on our team; and if we were sending a centerman of equal value back, I would not even be opposed; but I don't think size and leadership are priorities compared to some extra goalscoring or defense for the playoff push. (Since, as we all know, Gill will turn on the charcoal for the playoffs and not allow a shot on Price.)
