Heavier? Absolutely. But some of the heaviest-playing players are sub 6-foot.

Thing is none of the F that might be available at 6 if all goes predicted play a heavy game. I would be surprised if the Flames go down that route as we are picking a foundational piece with our pick and that player should fit the style of play that management is seeking to establish. The big power F isn't going to be available barring a trade up or surprise in the top 5, so next best option is to go heavier (and bigger) on D.
