Or Raffi Torres.
That's good NHL size, but not "un-containable" size like the previous three mentioned.

You're missing the broader scope of the conversation. The talk of the Oilers valuing him is because of his size in addition to his skill set. Yes, he's not as large as some of the biggest of No. 1 centres (who are all grown men)... but - as a teenager - he's currently much bigger than the Oiler's current top centres (who are tiny).
