I don't have the same reasoning as you, but the same conclusion. My reasoning is a bit more simple:
You draft the best player available (the player you believe will become the most valuable NHLer), and if that player doesn't fit your roster makeup you trade him or you trade a player on your roster who is holding that player back. The only time position or size become a holdup in that is if you don't have room in your system to develop that player properly.
You don't let the makeup of your NHL roster deviate from that philosphy because by the time this player is ready you might have traded Monahan+Gaudreau in a package for McDavid (obviously extremely unlikely, but just for emphasis).
