Beisel for MVP

I was waiting for some media outlet to pick up on the Brian Beisel signing. Unfortunately, it was NLL Inisder:

"The Philadelphia Wings ink veteran Brian Beisel and gain some valuable leadership from a dude who knows how to win championships".

Of course Beisel will lend his leadership to the Wings, the guy has been around for a while. But, just like David Eckstein in baseball, does Beisel actually know how to win championships? Does he have a game plan so superior to every other player in the league that it leads directly to a championship? Will he be instructing Dave Huntley on how to win a championship?

Was it him, or was it Colin Doyle, Blaine Manning, and Jim Veltman who were the main players on the 2005 championship team?

I love how these people think big Canadian defenceman, who possess all those intangibles-skills, grit, hustle, leadership, toughness, etc, think that Beisel will help the Wings win the championship because "he knows how to". In all likely hood, it will be a combination of Athan Iannucci, Taylor Wray, Kyle Sweeney and Jason Crosbie that will lead the Wings to the championship (should they get there). But I guess I can't argue with the logic that Beisel will know how to win it for them.
