You must not have watched any Flames games this season. The team is soft, despite having some not so small guys.

McGrattan (6.04)
size and grit, not much skill

Colborne (6.05)
size but he doesn't use it (no grit), some skill

Kanzig (6.07)
size, not much skill

Monahan (6.02)
good mix of all 3

Jones (6.02)
If this refers to Blair, he's soft and consistently on the IR. Tries hard, still fails.
If this refers to David, he's got size but is scared to give or take a hit & won't go to the dirty areas. Doesn't try hard, still fails.

Galiardi (6.02)
Has size and doesn't use it, just skates a lot.

O'Brien (6.03)
Probably the 2nd lowest hockey IQ on the team (and not by much), overplayed #7D that makes terrible decisions.

These guys might all be over 6' but 5 the 7 are soft, or not smart enough to be anything better than a liability. They don't protect the puck well, nor do they help to create space.

Feaster left this team in a dog's breakfast all over the kitchen floor, and Burke is going to need a shovel and a lot of garbage bags to clean it up.

Monahan and Colborne are probably the only guys who will survive the rebuild. The rest are roster filler courtesy of Feaster.
