In regards to MacKinnon and his size issues:

Crosby is 200lbs which is only 15lbs heavier than MacKinnon, and a lot of that weight was added during the first couple of off-seasons for Crosby. His team-mates commented about how his legs grew to tree trunks over one off-season.

I think if MacKinnon got the right training he could be a solid 200lbs like Crosby.

Also, Giroux is only 175 lbs and is never really pushed around.

Lastly, bringing out some good 'ol Orange Julius rumblings, but my friend's friend is friends with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and he is only about 155lbs give or take, they just say he is 175+. The kid only looks about 150 lbs anyway. Just like it is blatantly obvious Janko is only <170 lbs, you can definitely tell when he plays.

I wouldn't knock any of the high-end draft picks for their size, no midgets and everyone has a good weight to them.
