It is a bit unusual, but the Flames are excessively deep in really good young 3rd and 4th line types. Especially once guys like Arnold, Agostino, Harrison, and Coda Gordon come up to the AHL level. That's the main reason why I did not mind the Smid trade as we did lose one of those guys in Horak, but we have a dozen other guys almost that are of a similar calibre give or take.

The main area the Flames are lacking is high end skill both up front and on the defense.
