Jonathan Toews thinks that, among other things, Chicago's recently signed players will add some energy and personality to Chicago's locker room. "I'll never say anything bad about our locker room last year (and) I don't want to take anything away from some of those guys, but we definitely want to add some of that charisma and personality," Toews said. "A noisy and energetic locker room is always better than one that's the opposite." Chicago inked a number of veterans to one-year contracts, including Andrew Brunette, Dan Carcillo, Jamal Mayers, and Sean O'Donnell. Chicago should be a deeper team than their 2010-11 counterpart.
