I went back like 20 season (S27 Index and before busted so I can't check lines), but congratulations. All three times when a forward line logs top 10 in minutes played leaguewide ARE THE CHIEFS! W T F. Most of the times when teams got a bunch of forwards up in the top 10 it involved a second center, the Chiefs are the only franchise from S28-S46 to play their top line top 10 in mins.

Maybe instead of complaining about something that is completely legal, realize you're saying this about a franchise that has proven you don't need to tank and dish off core players to have long-term success. Should Minnesota just rebuild every time it can't roll a full three lines? I think we've proven it's not necessary and it's paid of with success and immense amounts of two-way loyalty. We currently have THREE recreates on the team (drafted by the team as well) who played the vast majority of their first players' careers with the Chiefs. A fourth who is now Co-GM who played the last couple seasons of his career with the Chiefs before being drafted with his recreate. The Chiefs have been around for 41 seasons now. Of the nine players who played at least 500 games with the team ever, six have played 500+ games with the team in the period between Season 32 and now (15 seasons) and all but one was drafted by the team. So maybe take a step back and think about the situation in Minnesota... that what you are seeing is actually the result of a franchise that is extremely strong and stable and hasn't missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons since Seasons 19-21 and since Season 32, have made the playoffs 12 times in 15 seasons and have advanced past the first round six times in the past ten playoffs.
