There's no room for goons in hockey anymore.
Teams need guys like Neil, Prust, Lucic, Clowe....basically guys who are not afraid to drop the gloves but who can actually play a regular shift.
Personally I think getting a guy like Tangradi is ideal. He will start in Hamilton but he is capable of playing 3rd or 4th line minutes, is good in his own end, has a little bit of offensive upside and will stick up for teammates. These are the types of guys we need, not goon's. |
