Ok, but Scott Parker???The only way he makes it to the NHL is to buy a ticket if he wasn't fighting. Unfortunatly that goes for most if not all of the big boys.

I really hate the goon role....hard friggin way to make a living but the reality is they hit a point in their development where they needed to start fighting or get cut. Lots of skilled junior guys need to realize they won't be a sniper in the NHL so they have to change to become a checker etc.
