My point is that his performances don't yet match-up to the skill package. Scouts project onto these guys that they'll develop into something better than they presently are because of size, etc. The Flames under Sutter were guilty of this often, taking the big guy over the more talented guy because they project potential onto the big guy (Pelech, Chucko, Neimsz).
I'm fine with breaking 'ties' by using size, but I don't want to overdraft a guy just because he's big.
