Aliu is horrible. If he's on the Flames, even in a 4th line capacity, the team is really a favorite for the top pick next season. He is a below average skater and doesn't use his body with any regularity. We need size, but we need size that can play the game. Aliu was a nice reclamation project, but it's time to realize he isn't even a short term stop gap player and use that contract in better ways.
