You can't be small and soft, but you don't need to be especially physical. It helps, but it's not essential

If you're not going to have size, it sure helps having two top three picks including a first overall ala Chicago and Pittsburgh. Calgary is unlikely to have that, maybe one more chance next year at a top 3, so I think going with size and speed in the Western Conference is a must.
If we somehow get 2 1sts, one being a generation talent, and 2 2nd overalls in a span of 4 years, we should be able to forgo a little size too.
