May be some similar situations to last year where we want to hit teams with the shock and awe dodging lineup and do things like sub Deere for Anderson, similar to how we switched out Mule for Leo at times later in games. Deere is likely not going to be a major dodging threat, but he has the potential to provide what we needed more of last year, a guy who can catch and finish the rock at an elite rate, whether it is around the crease or an outside shot. Hot take, but that was needed MORE than another dodger on the attack line. There is a reason most teams put a long pole on Jake Taylor for ND despite him doing nothing off the dodge. Mule did a lot of good things for us but was not particularly strong in those areas. Deere will also be better for setting picks/creating two man game looks behind the cage, and we should see some nice chemistry between him and Spallina.

When we want to get some good old fashioned drawn slides Anderson is right there, as is Leo. It did not seem to cause too many issues having Leo and Hiltz out there at attack together, despite them both liking to dodge from the left wing rather than behind the cage. The rumor of Leo staying at middie this season has me thinking the staff likes what we are seeing from Deere and/or Anderson.
