And some people underrate size. It's big for board battles, net front battles and some fans underrate how big a part of the game those can be. Small players are more easily pushed down, physically contained and dominated. It's a big reason why Gaudreau struggles on the road.

It's fine to have a few small players sprinkled throughout the lineup but we can't have too many of them in this division. The Ducks and Kings pushed us around all season.

At #6 we can draft a foundational player to build around. I think there are rarer and more valuable types of players that we could be drafting.
