Luongo signing does not solve Canucks' scoring woes

Roberto Luongo's signing has not yet answered an important question.
Will the Vancouver Canucks score more goals this season?
True, the Canucks have erased much doubt about their goaltending for upwards of a decade. As long as Luongo remains healthy, the Canucks should have one of the best goaltenders in the league for about eight years, or until his annual salary nosedives in accordance with his new 12-year, $64-million contract.
The defence, with newcomers Christian Erhoff and Mathieu Schneider and a core of returning veterans, will be solid, too.
But Luongo can't score goals, even into empty nets, considering his limited puckhandling skills. Most of the rearguards won't score many either.
So Canuck fans, and the club's devoted bloggers and apologists, should not get too excited about the upcoming NHL season until the red light comes on more often behind the net 200 feet away from Luongo.
Terminally underrated Daniel and Henrik Sedin can be counted on to score consistently, but the jury is still out on the rest of the forwards. Ryan Kesler, Alex Burrows, Kyle Wellwood (presuming he is deployed in an offensive role), a slimmer Steve Bernier and free agent signing Mikael Samuelsson will generate some goals, but they will probably struggle to produce 20 apiece.
Pavol Demitra? Don't bet on him. Farmhand Michael Grabner, one of the best offensive prospects, may not make it out of the minors. Hot-shot rookie Cody Hodgson is almost guaranteed to make the team, but will face a significant adjustment in his first pro season.
So count on Vancouver's goaltending, but not its goal-scoring.
