Of course, there ARE some people for whom it applies, but they are pretty rare. Multiple concussions is a very big concern. Ongoing back problems is a big concern. Two unrelated injuries do not make someone injury prone.

This is particularly true for Andersson, who has missed all of 11 games his entire career.
Availability is a skill.
Ekblad misses 11 games a year as a matter of course, the only question is does he miss 20 games or 30.
I know which one I’d give the bag to.
