Small size is not a problem that Feaster is working feverishly to address, it is a trade off that he is deliberately making to fulfill his vision for this team. If anything, I expect the team to get smaller.

Lol. Good points. Feaster is always going to be on the lookout for the next Martin St. Louis and Dan Boyle. I do, however, see Feaster switching course when he realizes (from the media and fans) that lack of size and toughness is a problem that needs to be addressed. He'll then probably go overboard and trade first round picks for the Chris Gratton and Shane O'Briens of the world.
