I, for one, think the core is right for this team to succeed. The 2nd half of last season showed what this team can do when it focuses and gets together. Martin just wasn't the guy who could figure out how to get that every night. Belak will bring that extra muscle that's been lacking really since Paul Laus left. Pelts has certainly been disappointing, but I don't think he was brought in to be a goal scorer, as he is 34 years old and definately reaching the end of his career. It's his leadership that has been lacking. Although! He is the captain of Team Finland, not his teammate and Panther captain Jokinen, so perhaps he can grind one more year out, assume the leadership role that Jokinen doesn't seem to want, thereby taking the onus off of Jokinen to lead, leaving him relaxed and therefore score easier, as he is in the championships, and hence lead the Cats to the playoffs and beyond. It's so simple!
