Why do people care so much about a right hand shot? Guy puts the puck in the net I don't care how he does it. As for size?
We could ice a team of 6' 5" giants and lose every game. I just want hockey players!

To me, there are 4 locks to be in the opening day line up:
Monahan
Gaudreau
Backlund
Frolik
I would add Hudler if I was 100% sure he wouldn't be traded.
I don't count Stajan, Bennett, Colborne or Bouma as locks to be in the line up either. Training camp is going to be an all out battle.
In regards to your response though, I am not saying Shore makes the team, nor that Hartley and Trelinving are going to pick the 21 tallest and heaviest players. I am saying, as have Flames management, that the team needs to get bigger up front. If the bigger players can't play, then they are out, but that doesn't mean you don't try to get bigger.
Shore was acquired for a reason, but if he isn't one of the 14 best forwards, you get rid of him. Full stop.
