I hope they make some depth adds.

WE need to have some more muscle in the bottom 6 come playoff time. Having small guys who can wheel is great in the regular season just like Tampa bay but come playoffs you need more bite. Hathaway is fine, Janko is fine but Czarnik, Ryan, Mangipanne, and to an extent Dube, are all IMO serious risks to disappear in the playoffs when things get more physical

I don't want to screw with chemistry, the flames need someone who is a valid threat to actually hurt the other team physically because you know the first thing the team we are playing does is go out and just start hacking and slashing at Johnny's wrists and unless you want Bennett, Hamonic and Gio being the aggressors and deterrents (which you really don't)

I'd love to add someone like a patrick maroon, or wayne simmonds (if the price drops). Someone who will just skate by the other teams bench before the start of the series and challenge the bench to a scrap / tell them in no uncertain terms that if they injure johnny they will not be eating solid food for at least half the offseason.
