Not goons, but physical guys.
Look at the Kings with guys like Dwight King and Jordan Nolan. They can play and be a pain. That's what Cherry is talking about.

This and especially Ferland, I did like how he played in his callup but it left me thinking that he has more to give.
I would love to see him develop into a pocket enforcer, a guy with a genuine mean streak combined with a genuine jerk streak who plays a fearless physical game, will run anyone through the board and can battle. Ferland has the rare one punch knockout ability that he hasn't displayed at an NHL level.
But if can play with that nasty edge, its what the Flames need.
