One of the differences I am seeing from last year to this is the emergence of the veteran presence, one that may be very helpful in the dressing room and on the road. Last year, there was a lot of leadership placed on Ladd's young shoulders and he did just fine...but I sensed he needed some help. The addition of Jokinenen and the reuniting of Ponikorovsky/Antropov may change the team chemistry for the better, and I sense that Wheeler, despite his age, is poised to contribute on the leadership front, as well. Hainsey could be a big help if he chose to, but I can't convince myself that he is as committed to the team as these others.
The team will still rely on mostly young guns to provide firepower, but, in a season like this, it'll be nice to have some older, wiser men to provide leadership, focus, consistency, and the odd kick in the butt.
Thoughts?
