As far as how much he would help us in the playoffs, we were expressing the same hopes about Brouwer and Neal. It's not going to happen with Lucic either. If we have Lucic in the lineup instead of Neal last year, Colorado still laughs and waltzes around us.
We need guys like Tkachuk to step up to beat teams like that. Not 12th/13th forwards.

Who's laughing here? (Just saw this 10 mins ago and is so effing awesome)
Flames lost to the Avs because we were butter soft. Brouwer and Neal combined isn't as scary as Looch.
