For me I find myself more comfortable with the idea of not honing in on the size of the player mainly due to the fact I think this pick is going to be the guy they pair with Bennett. As Bennett progresses and adds that bit more size and experience he is going to be that Gritty PWF type (loosely used term here) to drive his line. You could see last season it's all there just needed a bit more oomf. He bounced off of his checks more than laying people out last year. But when he did get his licks in, he owned.

So if we add a dynamic talent like Nylander to Bennetts line I think it'll end up being equally successful as if we added a Dubois or Tkachuk. And I really don't think this Nylander is a cream puff either which is an added benefit.

Sure it'd have been amazing to add Puljujarvi or Laine but that ship has sailed.

I wish Jost was a RH shot, he's got that Bennett style drive and a RH shot would compliment the team so nicely.

Flames scouts got this, they've been on the ball for a while now, Like Bingo said, no reason to sweat this, they've got it under control.
