As for Feaster learning something after 25 years, in my books he obviously hasn't learned enough.

Not that it makes a tremendous difference... but at the beginning of the year the Flames were 28th in height (ahead of Montreal and tied with St.Louis) and 28th in weight (Minnesota and NY Islanders).
This was pre-Westgarth and Smid (although losing Smid adding Byron probably offsets any increase).
