Certainly sounds like adding a Bollig/Wolf/McGrattan combination of some kind is key to feeling like a Baertschi or Gaudreau can play on the team without perhaps being a target.

Burke did say, when talking about Gaudreau (paraphrasing), that he didn't mind having a tiny guy in the team as long as he was surrounded by 'beef'. He consistently added 'beef' (Westgarth, Van Brabant, Wolf) & now Treliving has drafted beef (Smith, Mattson & Carroll) & acquired Bollig.
Lots of muscle, so maybe we can read into this that they're happy to have Johnny or Sven on the roster...?
