I think they're still trying to sign Santorelli?

I don't really see an issue with the Canucks being able to put out an effective counter to the other teams' best players, they have some fairly strong defensive forwards on that roster.
The issue is, as you say, where the hell the goals are going to come from outside of that top line. If you shut down the Sedins and score two goals you probably win the game. And given that the Sedins - good possession guys or not - are not the productive weapons they were, that's not that tall an order anymore. diane phaneuf is right, but you can't argue that they're still the same guys as they've been when Daniel goes 26 games without scoring.
