Nordstrom is the type of penalty killer and 4th liner that you want.

Jankowski and Reider had some skills, but they aren't the type who are going to do whatever it takes to help you win. They won't lay down and block shots and they aren't going to get their hands dirty in the trenches.

You need your 4th liners to do the dirty work. Championship teams have always had that element in the 4th lines.

Flames probably need another guy like Nordstrom.
