No, I'm saying I want a power forward on the right side of a Monahan/Gaudreau top line. I'm not saying that Dal Colle isn't a good player, I'm saying that we need a highly-skilled power forward. I'm trying my hardest not to use "truculent," but Brian Burke is right in that regard. Power forwards get penalty minutes, it's just the cost of doing business for playing that style of hockey. Players that don't get penalty minutes are not power forwards, I don't care what size they are.
We spent 16 seasons trying to get top-line quality skill to play with Iginla. Well, (I think) we have it in Monahan and Gaudreau. Now we just need to get them an Iginla to play with.
