Canucks 2010 Success Due In Part To Mikael Samuelsson

They acquired players who arrived from winning organizations in Detroit and San Jose, respectively, franchises where the performance bar was set high.

It also sent a ripple through the dressing room and that level of accountability is a credit to management seeking skill and substance to strengthen roster.
