Adding a player like Russell or Wideman at this point would be a mistake. We have enough puck moving guys who are smaller and fast, this team needs a bigger guy or someone with a big physical presence to handle the bigger guys we see in the west. One of the reasons the ducks beat the Flames is because they're bigger and the Flames were just physically outmatched. Gudas probably won't be moved for a while (if ever) because he brings that presence, he'd be an ideal 5-6 guy (or maybe 3-4 depending on chemistry) and a PK specialist...that's what we need. The Flames D put up lots of points, now they need size.
