It could be as simple as wanting the farm team to emulate the parent club exactly. Feaster did say that was the goal before and it is the staple of most successful clubs (and something the Flames had gotten away from).

Clearly the Flames see having an enforcer as a benefit. McGrattan is the guy on the big team, and I suppose MacDermid is the guy playing that roll on the farm now.

We can debate the need for an enforcer (personally, I like them), but I do think that the farm should mimic as closely as possible, the make-up of the parent team.
