Feaster himself stated (before Burke was brought on) that this team finds itself too small.

Thank goodness Ferland turned out, and that Bennett plays like he is 5" taller and 30lbs heavier than he really is. Thank goodness the Flames lucked into Tkachuk after the Canucks screwing that one up royally.
Flames now have a good mix of size, skill and speed. They just have to have a fricken decent system implemented that will use it properly (and their defence).

I disagree. This team doesn’t have the right mix of anything right now. They’ve failed to win a playoff game in 3 straight years and it’s been something else every season that has afflicted this team. There’s something fundamentally wrong with the entire organization as it’s been basically 3 decades of consistent failure. Minus 1 run in 2004, we’ve advanced to the 2nd round once in nearly 30 years. This organization has to cut off the poisonous root of the problem because it clearly runs deeper than what we’re seeing on the surface.
