That pick wasn't just size, it was for size and skill which the Flames need to compete in the West.

I liked the pick the moment they announced it. He's just a big guy that took a little longer to develop but he can play. Fans whine how the team needs to get bigger and when the Flames address that in the draft they complain he was a reach. You aren't going to be successful filling such a need for big guys that can play in the NHL by using 6th round picks and crossing your fingers.
