I would say "no" at this point. I consider Hudler to be a solid 2 line for sure. Gadreau has the potential to be, but is definitely no lower than a 2.

Especially with the Flames...it would be tough to imagine having two smaller players together on the first line all the time.

Unfortunately, I think that you need to have a bit of size to be ultimately successful.
