Here's Canucks fans on Pronman and the size issues:
"Pronman bugs me. His lists are heavily weighted towards small/skill players. He doesn't take into consideration which players will make a bigger impact when it matters and I think that gets overlooked by a lot of people"
"Yeah, I think Pronman takes the "smaller players are underrated" thing too far sometimes. I believe I read an article that showed that players over 6ft tall were typically better picks in the 1st round and the small/skill players were actually better value picks outside of the 1st round. I'll try to dig it up if I can, I forgot how large of a sample size they used and what metrics they used to define "successful" picks."
"Yeah. Pronman has a notorious adoration for the flashy little waterbug types. Which is fine i guess if that's his philosophy, but personally i think he often takes it way too far. Tends to completely overlook the barriers to success that inherently come along with major size disadvantage and lack of physical engagement."
