This is the opposite strategy of what the team should have. Being big is a plus, but should not be the determining factor in drafting a player. If the player is skilled, can skate, and has produced as a junior while also happening to be big then great. But drafting size for the sake of being big is the wrong strategy.
I am happy you are not running our draft.
(Edit: Nothing against Wallinder who's actually a fine prospect but because he actually combines skating and skill with size. 19 is still too early for him though. Drafting size for the sake of drafting size is the issue. )
