If Carolina being a bottom 5 team with Sekera as a top 2 defenseman is proof that he's not a legit top 2 defenseman, then what does the Sabres being dead last with Ennis on the top line say about Ennis? It's your logic, you've gotta be willing to follow it to all of its conclusions/consequences, or what's the point in trying to use it?
It's like Dan Dennett says (only he was talking about slightly more academic debates
)... Some guys are like old featherbeds: you jump on them and they sink into qualifications, revisions, addenda; and some are like trampolines: you jump on them and they spring back with full force presenting claims twice as outrageous. Don't be a featherbed.
