I love that he did state, with respect to players like Johnny, there is always a need to ensure they are protected. Referencing Gudbrandson, Lucic, Zadorov and Ritchie. It is great to see Sutter still sees value in those attributes. I do hope the Flames are equally as tough and menacing this year. Out of the 4 on that list, we still have Lucic and Z. Despite his salary, Lucic plays a role and we cannot leave it to Big Z to be that muscle. As out of the 4 listed, he is clearly the worst of the them all when it comes to throwing the fists.

Losing two heavies like Guddy and Lucic and not replace one of them will likely cause the Flames to be less tough to play against. IMO.
