If we bring in some more pests and try to make that the identity of this team at least its an identity versus what we have right now.
The ducks were good at doing so much outlandish antics that the refs couldn't possible call every single one a penalty becuase they would be penalized all game. At least it would be entertaining to watch.
I know this probably isn't the answer, but Lord is this current team hard to watch some times. The media is playing it out like we are the bad guys in the Division because of Tkachuk and the players aren't using that for motivation to win, so let's bring in some guys who would thrive on that. Easier said than done I suppose though.

I think it's about bringing more players in who are committed to doing what is required.
With Tkachuk what I like is:
- His compete level
- His desire to drag his team mates into that competition
- His overall combo of skill and grit
What I dislike is:
- When his own behaviours make him less effective as a skilled player
- Sometimes the stuff he does is pretty silly
- Needs more consistent production
- How his behaviours can really wake up the competition
He's got to pick his spots better sometimes.
