When Cherry played there were 2 or 3 skilled guys who didn't fight or hit, the rest of the team would drop them with almost anyone although there were guys you just didn't fight with because they were gorilla strong and once the fuse was lit there was no turning back. Howe was king back then and didn't drop the gloves too often but when he did...Don came up in an era where every team would dress multiple enforcers on a nightly basis, and he never really adjusted to the fact that the game has evolved away from that.
Still, if you look across the league, most GMs/Coaches do still seem to find value in having an enforcer on the roster; it's certainly not exclusive to Don.
If the Bruins are sellers at the deadline, it'd be nice to add a guy like Frederic and check multiple boxes all at once.
