I was actually thinking about this the other night with all the rhetoric coming from the Oilers nation about the response if Tkachuk isn't going to fight Kassian needs to be targeting Gaudreau.
While true the Flames don't have the playing toughness to match up to the Oilers right now, if they wanted to go down the we'll go after your best guy strategy, that's one they will lose quickly with the Flames. We are a much deeper team, take out one of our best, we still have at least 4 other top 6 forwards in our line up. Take out McD, the Oilers are left with a couple of arguably Top 6 forwards left in their line up, one of which has yet to prove he can do anything when not riding shot gun with McD.
