Yeah I just don't think the Flames are "too thin" to play an all out offensive style.

Iggy, Cammy, Tanguay, are legitimate top 6 guys. Glencross is close. Bartschi and Cervenka are arguably skilled enough to play that type of game. Say the Flames sign another high skilled offensive guy, like say a Jagr or a Hudler and the roster really lends itself to that type of game.

Add in an extremely mobile defense core too.

They are definitely more suited to play all out offense, then they are to play all out defense.
