Iginla, Tanguay (cup winner), Sarich (cup winner), Hudler (cup winner), Kipper, Cammy and his personal success in the league offensively. These are bad guys for young guys to learn from? Sure they may skate a bit slower now and be not quite what they were, but what they can teach could be invaluable to the Svens of the organization. The kids in Edmonton wish they could learn from some of these kinds of guys. Other than Smyth, Horcoff, they've been left out to fend and learn for themselves, partly why I think their growth and success is being hampered. No quality mentors up there.
