My guess is, when choosing players, you weigh everything and end up "going with you gut". I think there is probably is a size bias in the process, and this can work to one's advantage in choosing players, particularly in the later rounds e.g. Johnny, Doug Gilmore, Datsyuk etc.

Of course it would be great to find a Jamie Benn.
