The goons in my opinion are necessary when you're rebuilding so other teams do not take liberties with the kids. If you look at Sven, he's already had two major concussions if I recall correctly and he might not be able to proceed much further in his career if he gets another one or two. Having McGrattan + Bollig + Wolf ++++ in the organization helps to dissuade teams from being stupid.
When we're actually competing though, we will be better off not having nearly 10 in the system.
