I think the Winnipeg GM is pounding the panic button with both hands right now.

You forgot Trouba who is also a heat seeking missile.
The Jets were a much more physical team to begin with though.
Buff, Wheeler, Lowry are all very big players and can bang and also play a lot of minutes.
All 3 of those guys can dictate the play of the game physically. Flames only have Bennett who can do that and he's not exactly a big guy.
Jet's line up is also bigger with guys like Schiefle and Laine as big boys too.
Flames need to get bigger and tougher, but they can't sacrifice speed. It's a tough remake for Tre.
