As soon as Gaudreau is traded away? This team is already small enough. I don't care how big a guy plays, if he's not able to win the puck battles and is blowing snow most of the night its the last thing the team needs is another small player. Maybe if the Flames were able to trade Gaudreau to Nashville for Forsberg in a shake up deal, then maybe you can bring in Phillips. But as long as Gaudreau is around we're exceeding our daily allowable count of tiny players. I'm pretty sure Sutter isn't going to get smaller with this team. If anything he's going to reach into the minors and pull up some of the big bodies with grit and willingness to play a heavy game.
