smozoma Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 cause what ive seen of him in vancouver ...the guy has nice hands and a goal scorers touch Don CHerry said he was hurt / recovering last year. Then they traded him once he got healthy and now he's doing well Cherry had a good "i told ya so" moment a few weeks ago on Coach's Corner.

The Russian Rocket Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Oh cmon don't come back on that. He clearly never would have done anything in Toronto. No place on the powerplay with Grabovski,Hagman, and Kulemin jumping in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruePensFan1981 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Wellwood was always a talented hockey player; unfortunately, his back problems made things hard for him during his stint in Toronto. He would often get back spasms (much like Tracy McGrady or Mario Lemieux). It also didn't help Wellwood to be stuck behind players like Sundin and Antropov in Toronto. Steen and Stajan doing well at times also made things difficult for Wellwood. He didn't have the best linemates, and he didn't have the best minutes, either. However, you can make a case that Wellwood's problems were brought on by himself. He had a piss-poor work ethic up to that point. In fact, his own FATHER even criticized his work ethic. Judging by his recent success in Vancouver, I'd say he's finally taking care of himself and working hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Russian Rocket Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Well basically. When a trade makes absolute no sense. They're is always a reason. In that case it must be the work ethic. Someone hard to coach that Wilson didn't wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
