If people could have 40+ minutes of a game of Johnny Hockey instead of 20, would they turn it down in favor of size?

I get what you are saying. Trust me I am not of the strong opinion either way. No one small player max is my assessment. Have two or three small amazing playmakers would be awesome.
I just don't see Nylander as a 6th pick overall. After the first 5 picks none of the players are worth the 6th pick. Or all of them are.
Of course I want size. Yet its such a crapshoot. One could argue Keller is amazing too. Small though. Do I pick him 6th? No. 8th or 9th, no issues. Just how I feel about Nylander too.
We can drop back in the draft and still get a good player.
There is just no clear cut top sixth pick in my mind. Granted if Vancouver or Edmonton take a dman the choice is made for us.
