Several posters have brought up the idea that certain players on the roster bubble or even directly in danger of getting cut are great team players, or locker-room stars, too.
Having rewatched the moving Disney flick Miracle--the 1980 Hockey team, for those sadly ignorant of that most important sporting event!--a line said by Coach Herb Brooks when forming the team seems appropriate right now. When questioned by his Asst. Coach why he didn't have some of the best college players on the final roster, he replied (closely paraphrasing), "I'm not looking for the best players, I'm looking for the right ones."
Do we have any of those players, that the FO would keep because they're "Seahawk-type" players, while cutting others who have made some remarkable plays this preseason or in the past? I'm just curious if team chemistry plays a role in final selection and to what degree.
