I could make an argument that players like Torres and Cooke are worse for the game than pure enforcers.
Usually enforcers only go after other enforcers, or players taking runs at stars. Aggitators like Torres and Cooke have had more run-ins with the discipline committee than pure enforcers, and probably cause more injuries.
