No size in our top 6 except Iginla, maybe Glencross.

We're shrimps up front. Like the Canadiens of recent memory.

Not totally sold on Feaster's direction so far but hopefully it works out. Kind of surprised so many are thrilled about adding a 5'9 forward when we already have Cammalleri and Byron. I think we may have overpaid for Wideman and may have overpaid for Hudler. Hopefully they pan out better than I think they will.
Might be a good thing if teams start pushing us around.

The game plan for teams over the years has been to avoid physical confrontation with the Flames because they know that firing Iggy up is a bad thing.

If teams start running at the Flames small forwards, it might force Iggy into beast mode more often, which is usually good news.

If the opposition wants to play a soft skilled game versus the Flames, well things are looking good on that end too with the influx of skill.
