Roles exist in the NHL.
You need people who can play the penalty kill, you need players who can hit, players who can score etc.
Rooney is coming in the be physical and PK. This doesn't affect any of our AHLers who are NHL ready.
Ruzicka, Pelletier, Phillips are all more offensive forwards who would likely be better suited for a third line role.
Sutter likes roles and Rooney has a role to fill in a Sutter run team.
