I agree with you totally. I don't think Mo or Ed are going to be pushed around - and I think we'll have plenty of grit and snarl throughout the team. My issue here is when Brady or Tom Wilson, or whomever goes to far and the elbows get higher, the knee starts leading a bit more, not against Ed or Mo, but vs Larkin or Cat or Raymond, I don't want Ed or Mo leading the charge against that caveman.
I don't need our 1A Elite D, throwing hands and eating 5min Majors and risking his health a la Mantha. Is it good for morale every now and again? Maybe, but not something I want either of big names to do. Now, if I can carry a 7th D like Brady, who can be a PK specialist, be huge and play 10 min a night situationally while rotating in defensive zone starts and keep roaming out there? And if Brady comes out and calls out our bench, he comes over the boards to answer the call? I'll take the 7th D vs. Star Captain 5min trade off every day of the week.
I'm in total agreement now, need a guy like Brady.
