I was focusing more on the top 6, and in particular, the 23 and under players for the most part. Klapka is 24, and Pospisil 25, but yeah, I think they are here long term and go even further to illustrate that the Flames are not fine with being an undersized team.

I didn't touch on defencemen since there aren't any undersized defencemen in the org. Everyone seems to be at least 6'0" (unless I missed someone). That's why I didn't mention Bahl either.
However, it is a good point. People will point at Tampa as being a great example of an undersized team having playoff success. They had some hulking defencemen that helped in that regard. I especially think that defencemen take a lot of wear and tear, as they are the focus of the fore-checkers, as well as their work along the boards and in front of the net. Having a hulk that is able to play on a couple of pairings definitely go a long way in a series.
