Fact is that a team can draft skill foremost and surround that skill with size in other ways. Pronman thinks that a handful of the best prospects in this draft happen to be smaller players. Not like there aren't going to be dozens of bigger busts in this draft. He made his list, which is no less likely to be "right" than any other guy's list.
Actually, I think that's exactly how you shouldn't do it. Having a small team, with a few big, unskilled guys in the bottom 6 just for size, is just about the worst way possible to build a team.

You need skill AND size throughout the lineup. You need guys for every role. And you need a goalie of course.

But the idea of 'adding size in other ways' is exactly why some people think it's a waste.
