I look at the Flames up front roster and its not really a mini mouse roster.

Bart is 5-10 which is a little small, as is Hudler, Cams is really small at 5-9 but he's a pretty solid 190 pounds

Some of the new guys like Bancks and Street are 5-11, Byron is 5-9 but I don't expect him to be a regular.

Our defense isn't undersized with the exception of Cundari at 5-9, and I have to apologize for calling him fat when he was first traded here at 195,the guy looks like a light tank.

We're not small, with Rhino joining the lineup with Jackman and McGratton, and Hanowski we've got some players with push. Glencross is always decent on board battles as well.

I wouldn't call our forwards quite small, I'd say we're probably middle of the pack average.

What we are lacking though is that one of two powerforward type. I was holding out that Aliu would be that guy, but he's not as nasty and jerkish as last year. Ferland could still be that guy in a few years if he develops.

Bouma will be back in the mix next year in a 3rd or 4th line role as well.

Sadly I think Nemitz is kinda done.

Wonder why Breen wasn't called up, is he hurt?
