So when you have a Lane Hodgson, you have a Cole Caulfield, that they are insulated so they can go out and do their thing.
And if it becomes nasty, then Arbor, Sakai, whatever.
Somebody like that can step in and take over versus somebody who's probably a little bit of a better hockey player than him.
Probably a better passer again, skater.
But when it comes time for somebody who's taking liberties, it is still nice to have somebody that you can rely on.
Again, the gap can't be too big.
Don't get me wrong here either to where the player is not useful.
But if you do get that, it still carries some weight and it still carries value.
Yeah, they just don't come around very often because they tend to be the skillest of all.
Like, you can look at, yeah, Jamie Benn.
Brendan Morrill had that as well.
But those are, you're not getting them unless you draft them.
And then they play for you their whole career kind of thing.
So you are forced to do this and that's where you end up burning yourself like a Nick Delorier who had a good year and then signed a monster deal but doesn't come close to filling in in the top six.
You have these players, even Joshua of Dakota where he's like, okay, if he can step up, then he can fill this role, but can't really do it.
