Or, we can draft, sign, and trade for big players around these small forwards.
Keep in mind that we don't have to be the biggest team in the NHL and you still need skill and speed. All of those forwards have one of the "SSS" attributes.
The only way we get Ekblad is trading up. Otherwise, drafting the likes of Reinhart or Draisaitl is going to benefit the Flames for a long time.
