Goes to show what a couple of home run picks like that can do.
Same with Boston with Bergeron and Pasta.
So you need to maximize the number of bullets you have in the chamber, because if you can get a guy like that, it's a game changer for a franchise.
Without Robertson and Oetinger Dallas is probably commencing an extended re-build of their own with no end in sight.
A fine line.
