You completely missed the point.

First, you say the team is too small. Then you focus on our top 6 forwards, despite the fact that our top 6 forwards aren't really much smaller than those on many successful teams. My point is that the top 6 forwards are fine size wise going forward.

Where we lacked in size and were significantly below league average was bottom 6 forwards and on defense. On defense the team was barely 200lbs, this year it's probably going to be even smaller. The size of our bottom 6 has been upgraded a lot for this coming year, and is probably getting close to league average.
