McGrattan went directly to Baertschi to assure them him that he would smash in anyone's face if they messed with him ??
MacGrattan understands completely that he was brought in to protect Baertschi in particular......... Ask yourself why, when Baertschi is well on his way to becoming physically dominate in this league.
The AVERAGE NHL player is 6-1+ and 203 .... The average NHL player will physically dominate Baertschi.
With Iginla and Bouwmeester gone the Flames have no regular players larger than the average NHL player.... Gio at 6-0 203 is the closest of the top-9 forwards and top-4 d-men to average.
Feaster has moved to try to fix this off season but it will take time to get a team that allows the small player to reach their potential.
