Satan was never much of a leader, loosing pecca hurt and 2 years ago loosing brierre and drurry killed them. That was about 80 goals a year they lost and the vetran leadership with both but mostly drurry.
Nice thing is neither of them are the same now. Drurry has done nada in NY and i doubt brierre will ever play a full season without getting hurt. Then they lost/traded jason campbell too.
They have a very good goalie with miller and some emerging talent with vanek, roy and pommenville, but thye need a couple of good vets to keep them in line. last year they kind abecame complacent after miller and vanek were out with injuries and it cost them a playoff spot.
