Best bet for the Flames is to mix size and skill players - Ferland, Bouma, Bollig, even Colborne are a good physical presence. Poirier and Bennett add edge, not so much sheer size. Replace a smaller not skilled enough player like Raymond with someone more physical, find a more physical Jones and you've got a pretty good forward balance.
The Mobile, offensive D are a huge strength for the team, but need to inject more physicality. I like Schlemko and Diaz but they are more of the same as the top 4. Use the 5-7 slots on more physical D
The ideal is a blend of Hawks and Ducks, not one or other
