Why is Tampa the model then? Or do you prefer a team that puts up big numbers in the regular season and then gets beat down and chokes every playoffs?
We don’t need to be a team of thugs, but having a couple guys who intimidate the other team AND can play is almost a given on every cup winning team. Anyone who’s played competitive sports can back up the fact that if the other team has someone who’s in your head and your aware of when they are on or off the field/ice they are already a factor in the game even if they don’t score. And when they are a player who can also put up points that’s what makes them a must for a winning team.
Guys like: Ferland, Simmonds, Wilson, Maroon etc. Having one of these guys is something that I’d definetely be in favor of losing our likely at least late 20’s first round pick in the draft ( hopefully it’s # 31
)
