Wasn't the major reason the Oilers took Draisaitl because he was "Bigger" than Sam?

From the one (out-dated) source I just checked (hockeydb), they have Sam at 6'0" (181 lbs) and Leon at 6'1" (204). And of course Leon is 8 months older that Sam. Let's assume Sam does end up playing at 6'1" and 200 lbs.

Is it possible that we are all laughing hysterically (not just a sensible chuckle) at the Oilers in five years for taking a "Big" guy over league MVP Sam Bennett, because of maybe a fraction of an inch and maybe 10 lbs?

Oh, I think it is!!! Thank you Oilers!
