They need someone else to step up still and they will need to keep the puck out of the net. I just don't see it happening.

Keep thinking of the story about when Yzerman bought into being a complete player. Perrenial 100+ point player - played to get points. Bowman came to him one season and asked him to be a more complete player and told him his point totals would drop but the team would have more success. Yzerman never scored 100 points again but the team went on to win 3 cups and Yzerman was one of the best Captains in the history of the NHL.
I hope the 2 wonderboys up there keep playing just for the points. Let them have all the Harts and Art Ross', thats all they'll have.
