This team needs an large injection of talent and heart.

Terrible takes.
a. Despite the persona Sutter appreciates and uses talented guys. He traded for Tanguay, Huselius, Langkow, Cammalleri when he was here. I think Sutter would like Johnny and would motivate him well.
b. Ferland is not Bourque. Bourque had a huge toolbox but no heart. Ferland has limited skills (not untalented but not a natural either) and he has heart. He also has concussion issues which limit his fighting now.
c. The team is really not that far off. I think they are fragile, but not uncaring. They need to channel better. Their talent level is not among the best, but they have enough to win.
