in most cases it was another teams 4th best D (you could protect 3), if you protected 4 you only protected 4 forwards
I realize not every team is the Flames but a huge difference between a 4th d and a 5th or 6th D
now I realize they still took Engelland for reasons that made sense to them, but really if you can start a season with all number 4 dmen you aren't going to be awesome (usually) but its 3rd pairs that get your teeth kicked in- if you don't have to roll those guys you are starting already in good shape- aren't you?
