Honestly, the games where guys like Orr and McLaren or Parros are the most "active" it's when the game is a total blowout, one way or the other.

Other than that...

What do these guys even bring anymore? In the old days, it made sense. Now, not so much.

well i think back then, you couldn't make the NHL if you couldn't contribute in some other way. whereas today, with 30 teams, there's room on the roster for guys like Parros and Orr. Colton Orr would not be in the NHL if this was 1990.

He should show it more often.

Yeah, most of them could contribute. Though, Nilan improved a lot over the course of his career.
