Wayne and BlackIce - you guys are right about building for the playoffs. Size and speed! We have always had the reputation as a heavy team, but we are soft and desperately lack size and aggressiveness on the back end. Sandin really got exposed and was tossed around the entire playoffs. I was also disappointed that Chychrun didn't hold up better as he is a strong guy but seemed to get knocked around a bit.
I'm also concerned about Leonard. I was under the impression that he was a beast - another Tom Wilson in the making. He turned out undersized and was lucky he didn't get badly injured. Maybe he can put on some weight and mussel next year and get to a better size, but he is not going to be another Willy. Hopefully his skills are good enough that he will still be very good.

Same with Miroshnichenko When we drafted him, the hockey peeps were like "He would of went top 5 if he didn't get sick. He plays like Ovi and has a wicked 1x'r" But he's never really showed much either.. Hope those guys can/do take steps like McMike and Proti..

Maybe there is hope yet for Alexyev! That is the kind of guy we need to clear the crease!! Now, if he could just play a little better....

He may be able to get better defensively, but don't think there's any fixing the skating..
