There are players you win with in the playoff crunch time; then there are guys who can light it up in the dog-days of an NHL schedule, but are 'no-shows' in the post season.
And it's clear, both Allvin and Tocchet have a pretty clear idea in mind of the kind of players they want for the post-season, after their years in PIttsburgh.
Obviously we'll never know what Kuzmenko would do in the NHL playoffs, because he's never played in one. And if he sticks in Calgary next season, we probably won't find out again.
One thing about Allvin though. If he thinks a guy really isn't built for the post-season he's as good as gone--which is basically what happened with both Lafferty and Mikheyev this off-season.
And incoming are DeBrusk and Sherwood, who both had strong playoffs in Boston and Nashville.
