As much as Wolf is the reason the team is where it is now, Lomberg has played a part in getting the team going on many nights where it doesn't quite have it and this is something that was sorely missing the last 2-3 seasons.

Well no. He's on the 4th line and they take a lot of defensive responsibilities. Everyone points to Rooney's bad possession stats - Lomberg's are worse.
I can't recall many games where Lomberg - as opposed to one of the young guys or Kadri or Huberdeau, has dragged the team into the fight.
