Agreed, Oilers right now are too small and timid to play against Heavy playoff formatted teams. I hope Holland catches on...

I don't think its just size, its the timidity of some, if a guy like Perlini (6'-3" x 211) forechecked or hit like a Josh Archibald, then you'd have an everyday 3rd line player. He's got all the tools, but no will to use it. He's just an example, the lack of guys finishing off checks, not board rattling hits, just greasing guys out along the boards as they get rid of the puck, they're already there, but decide to just skate on by... can never figure that one out.
I think Holland and co. have caught on, they've brought in guys like Hyman, Foegle, and more size, but some of the guys with size play meek.

P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
