That's looking at the situation from 10,000'.
At ice level, there are situations where it is important. Losing an offensive zone draw on the PP, or with the goalie pulled, burns 20 seconds off the man advantage. Losing a defensive zone faceoff up a goal late against 6 skaters is a missed opportunity to ice the puck or score a clinching empty net goal. With the team gassed late in a PK after an icing. You get the point.
We don't need a specialist, just competence in those situations where it matters way more than a neutral zone faceoff early in a tie game. Casey winning barely 1/3 of the time as a 2C is a joke. We should be better.
