The game is pillowy soft compared to the 80s to speak to your point. You need a guy that can skate, be smart, and have a decent ability to produce points on the 3rd line, not a warrior. You're getting hung up on the name Otto, it was a comparison of 3rd line support roles.
I've never once dropped the name Otto in this context but it's pretty obvious that's what some are suggesting.

That isn't what was said. He was compared to Otto and there is little comparison. You might as well pick out any third line centre in the NHL and say he's like him. The comparison is lousy, you know it and still chose to defend it.
