Maybe they believed in their inpsirational superstar leader a bit too long, but they are back on track with some very cool players.

So even if the league was crooked, the lack of a generational talent may not hold this team back in the future. It would be cool though to have a Gretz/Lemieux/Crosby calibre guy on this team. Especially one with a scottish name.

Gary Roberts?

Al MacInnis?
