Come on, Jakey. While O'Brien is not a heavyweight, he still provides a physical presence and will always be the first to stand up for teammates.Abundance of skill? Then why is LOB playing. McBain can play hockey, is tough, can fight and play on the PK. LOB can do none of those. I think LOB is my whipping boy for this year.
I notice you left out Boyd and Carcone which was precisely my point. Before you point out point totals from last year, neither guy will receive any power play or generous 5v5 playing time with skilled linemates unless hapless injuries occur.
