Say we could clone Crosby - wouldn't you want a team full of Crosbys (Crosbies?) even though he doesn't fit the mold of a 3rd or 4th line guy?
EDIT: This is mostly relevant when teams for the Olympics or World Cup are picked. Just select the best guys and don't worry about what a 3rd line LW "should do"

I agree with this.
It’s like when we had guys like Brenden Morrow and Eric Brewer on our Olympic squads.
There was some better options that I personally would have picked.
It worked out in both cases but in other years when we lost there have been some questionable picks.
Even if you have 4 scoring lines, some of those guys are going to be bigger, stronger, more grinder like players ala Iggy, Perry etc.
