McGratton is a great teammate and a really good guy. I think he is a valuable member of the Flames, at this point in time - but teams that win do not employ guys like this as 4th line regulars. |
You're right, and when we're ready to contend, I have a feeling Brian McGrattan's role (or whoever happens to be the heavyweight by then) will be greatly reduced/nonexistent.
But by that point, your third and fourth lines should be full of big tough characters that can also take a regular shift.
