Otherwise, teams will walk all over you, and that is FACT.

That is exactly how I view it. It’s great to have some that can throw down and take a regular shift. Guddy was able to do that and to a lesser extent, Lucic used to be able to do that. Can he do it again, that remains to be seen. Sure, the game has changed now, in that enforcers and goons are not relevant anymore, but when you have top tier guys who can fight, it’s never a bad thing.
