I haven't seen any warning signs of Calgary having puck control difficulties, and certainly not any that are size related. Thankfully the archaic infatuation with size that landed us talent-lacking prospects like Hunter Smith is slowly dying. Size is meaningless in the sense that how you play the game can overcome a lack of it, or negate any benefits of an abundance of it.

In fairness, I think if you can can get a player with size combined with speed and skill they will be more sought after than a similar small player. Major problem is that big players like that are rare.
