Regardless, I think we both agree about the need for some bigger, tougher bodies in the lineup for next year and beyond. The balance of skill, size and toughness wasn't there this year.

It is hard to imagine next years team being any tougher unless Feaster makes a a couple of trades. We simply have too many small, low intensity players taking up roster spots at the moment.
Cammalleri-Stajan-Hudler
Glencross-Backlund-Stempniak
Tanguay-Horak-Jackman
Baertschi-???-???
To make this team significantly harder to play against next year, IMO Feaster needs to trade away Tanguay and maybe Stajan or Cammalleri, and replace them with players like Clowe, Stalberg, Bickell, Clarkson, Cooke etc (all free agents).
