What do the Sharks need to win the Cup?

So, we're on the final stretch toward the playoffs. I've read a variety of hockey analyst's suggestions for what each team needs to go for the cup. One, on the Globe and Mail, suggests the Sharks don't necessarily have to trade for anything and have great depth. Fans on one boardsight would strongly suggest the Sharks need a veteran D-man to come in and lead the way. What is your opinion or comments?

I think that if the Sharks play the way they did at the beginning of the year, and some players like Cheechoo and Michalek get their scoring touch back, the Sharks will be contenders. I think some veteran defensive presence would be a help, but for all those saying the Sharks D could not keep up this year due to their youth, we're still no 2 in the league for GAA, and that isn't just our goalies keeping us in the game.

I grant you that there have been some major defensive lapses in the game lately, see the Dallas and Ducks games. This definately has to be solved if the Sharks plan to go far in the playoffs. Some of these most likely have to do with the young d-men who are still adjusting to the NHL grind. But even the veterans and the forwards are showing lapses of concentration and judgement. If the team can get their focus back, and keep it, they should go far. If they don't, I don't expect much come playoff time. Just my opinion mind you.
