But yeah, while I like the combo that Hulder/Sven/Monahan have, the overall size (or lack there of) of that line can be pretty apparent at times. Sven does get pushed around a little more than I like, and would benefit from playing with someone with a bit more size to create some space. I wonder how we would do with Colborne.

Ya, I would agree with that. I haven't really been impressed with Jackman this year but I do understand Hartley wanting size in the line-up. I do think it would be nice to have it up and down the line-up but he doesn't have the personnel to do that right now. If he thinks they are starting to get steamrolled out there, with Jackman or Bouma in he can at least throw out a line with size if he needs to.
