Vladimir Sobotka for instance.

I do too, and a very good and responsible 3C at that. I actually forgot how fragile Backs has been of late as he's looked so tough out there recently. Driving hard, and coming back for more I totally forgot he's a stiff breeze away from missing a few weeks.
Sobotka is a great example, but replacements like him don't come up often at all. Jankowski is really the only potential we have for filling that role (size and skill wise) but I don't know how his defensive game has been coming along.
