IF (big if) he's given sustained chance i think he can be a real presence for us and be a 10-15 goal guy who makes teams respect us. Really, exactly what we need on the lower lines..... will he get that sustained chance? not so sure. He has deserved it and up to now its been injury thats held him back. I just dont understand the constant attempts to keep Voros around at 1m, and i think they'd play Brashear (when fit) regardless to justify the cap hit. agreed…. the refs need to make calls but we need to address, at the very least, the non calls!

He needs the opportunity to do so. A big part of this is the lack of calls, but regardless, the team as a whole needs to step in and start scrapping with opponents who do this.

I like to think Byers adds toughness but even though i dont mind Brashear being here (not for 1.4m tho!) i dont thinkw e ahev what it requires. We need the refs to act and we need a collective effort to address this issues. We dont have a witt, a Lucic or a Pronger... but can Byers be a Lucic? maybe a lesser version best case scenario, anyway.... its gonna take the collective and (i think) Torts really addressing this bluntly with the team to make the necessary change.
