Another inflammatory headline designed to get clicks.

Read the article. The team still thinks size, skill and speed are all important. They just know they aren't going to find players that have all 3 qualities in abundance.

And Burke says they aren't gong to change their strategy to focus purely on speed just because the penguins won based on speed. They still need some size to compete with the Kings and Blues.

The article clearly states they still plan to take the BPA regardless of size.
