He needs a couple elite, or close to elite guys to work around. Iginla, Kipper, Reg, Kopitar, Doughty, Quick. So here he has an arguably elite goalie, and he has Tanev, who played his own zone as well as any guy I’ve seen in a long time. What I am interested in is if he can push the forward core into playing well in tough circumstances. He sure talked a lot about “playoff hockey” and how every game in this season is playoff hockey.
