wade brookbank or something. still though you need tough guys who can play as opposed to a pure goon who'll be in and out of the lineup taking up someone elses roster spot. a goon is also pretty useless in the playoffs. i think we have guys capable of playing tough (jovo, bert, cooke, allen, may, linden) and stepping up to the plate when needed, they just need to do it. we definately need more depth and it might be time to give up some prospects for guys who can step in now. if naslund ever gets injured, we're screwed. as far as bertuzzi goes, i dunno if it's a coaching thing or if bert's just saving himself for the playoffs rather then getting burnt out early but he certainly isn't as much a physical presence as he was the last couple of seasons. anyways i have confidence that burke will probably pull something off at around the trading deadline, especially with the uncertainty of a labour dispute looming for next season.
