Put Hamhuis Edler or Ehrhoff on your team 5 years ago and you'd be making the same fucking argument. Your problem is you continuously mix TEAM success with individualality. Doesnt make sense.
INDIVIDUALS ARE APART OF THE TEAM.
Each member of the Red Wings have a specific role to fill, that is tailored especially for their skill set.
Stuart isn't going to put up points, but show me a better shot blocker, hitter, penalty killer on the Canucks.
Kronwall isn't going to put up first pairing points, but he's leading the playoffs in blocked shots and is one of the best hitters in the league. Also he has to skills to match anyone on the canucks offensively as evidenced by his numbers that he put up on the second pairing.
This is off topic, I've more made this topic to show case great leadership in the playoffs from the like's of players like Shane Doan, Toews and Ovechkin. Not to challenge some uniformed Canucks homer.
