The point about Stepan and Brassard to show that he won't be a top six player.
What need does he fill? How does he make this team better other than "he's faster than Hayes"?
Who wants Gomez in the top 6? I never said that.
Same reason St Louis on the 3rd line helped us more than St Louis on the 2nd line, matchups. We reached the cup because we had matchup advantages. Nash-Zuccarello-St Louis at RW is tough to play against. And he is also a vet who can still pass the puck and carry it.
You have a speedy guy like Gomez on the 3rd line who is faster than most teams 3rd liners and its an advantage to us. Especially with his passing ability
