I know it is hard because it takes time from guys like Bouma, but I like skill guys on the PK, at least skill guys who play position well. If they get their stick on a puck they are more likely to make a smart play. And crash and bangers can't look for big hits - it just takes them out of position and opens the ice.
Empty net - you do need some strong guys to handle all the opponents crashing the net.
