It’s beyond ridiculous they need to craft a team to have a 3rd line grinder and all this crap. Sure Parekh may make a mistake but he will also create more opportunities on the other side. Dickinson made 2 glaring errors and was a ghost offensively.

Complete ####.
I wonder if, after decades of trying to build good, balanced teams, some coaches see this as the opportunity to build their dream balanced team - the pinnacle of what they've strived for their whole career. Picking only all-stars goes against what they believe, devalues their coaching experience, and is like cheating. Let's not have those coaches ever again.
