I would also say that Kopitar, Getzlaf, Kane, Thornton etc. would agree with you and prefer that the Flames stay soft. It's nice to play against players who are nice.
Hamonic is the closest U30 thing in the league there is to 2006 Robyn Regehr. He plays smart. He hits. He hits to hurt. He can play top 2 minutes. He can win games.
Giordano, Gaudreau, Monahan, Brodie, Hamilton is a small and soft core. Great players that nobody is afraid of.

There is a reason the Flames are in the top half in league scoring with this fairly weak forward group and it is thanks to having 3 Dmen who score over 40pts a year.
Guys like Brodie and Hamonic where no where near where Dougie was at 22.
