Is anyone concerned about the size of our wingers? Johnny Gaudreau... 5' 6", Paul Byron.. 5' 7", Jiri Hudler.. 5' 10", Sven Baertschi.. 5' 11".. Mason Raymond.. 6' 0". All south of six feet.
It's not like they will all be in the NHL at the same time. What about the rest of the wingers?Is anyone concerned about the size of our wingers? Johnny Gaudreau... 5' 6", Paul Byron.. 5' 7", Jiri Hudler.. 5' 10", Sven Baertschi.. 5' 11".. Mason Raymond.. 6' 0". All south of six feet.

Glencross, Colborne, Jones, McGrattan, Bollig, Bouma. Or does mentioning them not fit your plan?

You again are without a clue. Maybe 3 of those guys will be in the lineup come opening night. and there is no concern about the size of Hudler or Raymond as they have proven themselves. You are also selling Colborne very short.The guys I listed, save for Paul Byron, are projected top-6 forwards. The guys you listed, save for maybe Glencross, are all bottom-6 forwards. Colour me worried.

So 3/4 of our top-six wingers this season will be < 6 ft. Hudler and Raymond won't scare anybody. Colborne is not a top-six forward.
God you are such a drama queen.So 3/4 of our top-six wingers this season will be < 6 ft. Hudler and Raymond won't scare anybody. Also, Colborne is not a top-six forward.
This isn't a big mans sport anymore. This whole size thing lately is so overrated. We didn't have the biggest team last year either, but we still held our own.
Do I need to remind you who won the Stanley Cup last year? All recent Stanley Cup winning teams - Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, LA Kings - have been "big" teams. Big, heavy hockey = success. That will never change.
Why do you think size is so coveted around the league?

Do I need to remind you people how the Flames made the SCF in 2004? I rest my case.
Riding on the backs of Iginla and Kiprusoff? You really need better evidence before you rest your case.Do I need to remind you people how the Flames made the SCF in 2004? I rest my case.
The Flames were a very fast team, developed amazing chemistry, and had Kipper behind them. Your case sucks.
We also had Simon, Oliwa, Nieminen, Clark, Regehr, Warrener, Gauthier, Ference, etc. that made playing the Flames a nightmare. Once Sutter got rid of most/all of those players, despite still having Iginla/Kiprusoff, the team went south.
