Robitaille played in the 80s and 90s. At that time, there were defensemen who were SLOW. The game has changed dramatically in that regard, and speed is more important now than it has ever been.
Can guys like Tkachuk succeed? Yes, of course. But your team overall, has to be fast to be competitive.
The Flames are getting better, but like GioforPM said, our top 6 still isn't very fast.
