Not if they are physically unable to compete in the playoffs. Last year LA was significantly more physical and Raymond was a waste of roster space.
The Canucks are in the same boat as the Flames (well their boat isn't as leaky) but they have too many soft skilled players.
They have recognized that and gave away a better player than Raymond -- Hodgson - for the hope of a top 6 forward that can play with some jam.
