It's important to remember, the quoted I've heard from Burke continuously is:
"We need to get bigger, and tougher to play against"
Regardless of that article or any trends, that statement couldn't be more true. We've already gone about starting to address it this year (Colburne, Smid, Westgrath etc)... but there should definitely be some more attention paid through drafting moving forward. The emphasis we put on signing Gaudreau shows there's room for skill and speed with smaller players. But there's no denying we need some size and jam moving forward to supplement that.
