San Jose: 204.2
Nashville: 205.7
Dallas: 204.1

Calgary: 195.5

I hate when Flames staff makes the statement about the team needing to be bigger that some fans just ignore the rest of the comment and think the Flames just want to get big, slow, and not skilled.

The management group always says the team needs to be bigger, faster, and more skilled which is right if they want to compete in the west.

Disagree. When the Flames say they need to get bigger and also more skilled, I roll my eyes because it's BS. What they mean is that they need to get bigger and I do believe in most cases that sacrifices speed and skill.

Guys who have great size and great physicality but don't sacrifice speed and skill are basically superstars that typically are gotten in the first round. You don't just decide to get these players. Which is why when the Flames say that I just roll my eyes.

Hate all you want!

Edit: when I say disagree I mean on the topic you're addressing about size vs skill. Not the first part of your post.
