I imagine that Lazar would make an excellent extra Fwd. Along with Peluso, you’ve got some speed or some muscle to add depending on the game demands. But you don’t care if eat popcorn. They might not be the best available forwards, but they do bring qualities that the others might not.
I do agree that the top 12 should more or less be who deserves it most. Forwards 13 and 14 can be more unique role players and that’s ok, it gives the coach flexibility game to game. And that’s ignoring the ‘stunted development’ of putting someone like Mangiapane in the press box for 70 games.
