Bozak and Hanson (along with Stalberg) are young but old enough to be able to deal with this and, will provide some of the hunger that some of our vets don't seem to have. But I stand firm on the need for a vetern leader in the dressing room to settle these guys down and show the way...a Gary Roberts or Shanahan type....people follow leaders...amazing how that works. I'm not writing this off yet - the names on the back of the shirts on the backend are too good to be this bad. As for Schenn...hopefully he's simply suffering from the same "disease" that many sophomores go through and will be just fine. I'd reduce his ice time and remind him that we don't need him to be the savior out there - keep it simple and continue to learn. @Eggbert…I agree.

This is where a vet leader needs to chime in...but who? Mats? Shanny? Chelios?? They're available :) You may be right that the answer has to be in the room…not sure… but it can’t be up to Wilson.
