Big players that don't use their size are just as much of a problem. What you really want is a player with a big frame that can play a big game. That is optimal. Sam Bennett and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins are close to being the same size. Which one is the bigger player? I'll give you a clue. One doesn't go by the nickname "The Tenderness." In this draft the Flames need to pick the bigger player.

Couture is an optimistic 6 feet tall and not a big player and if you think he's not small then you think Nylander is not small as he's likely going to be taller when he's done growing. No the Flames need to pick the best player not the biggest. You have taken a liking to a prospect that simply isn't going to be in the conversation for the Flames at 6 so there's no amount of arguing you can do to change the fact that I don't believe he's even a consideration and nor should he.
The Flames needing to pick the bigger player got them Hunter Smith when Christian Dvorak was there for the taking.
