Not going to go ahead and say it is a problem yet. But I will be watching that area closely over the next 6 games or so.
I know Burke and Trieliving are big on size and the Flames are looking improved in that area. But last night, even when they were trying to keep up, it looked like they were standing still compared to the Hawks. Any rebuild must also focus on improving team speed, or it will be stillborn.
Again, could be they were tired in addition to being just plain out-skilled. We'll have to see.

Speed is one area I'd like to see Gaudreau work on. He can add some strength to his legs without having to gain crazy mass which is hard for somebody with his body type. That could really help
