Nobody is going to argue with taking the bigger guy if two players are equally skilled.
But that's not a likely scenario.
Every small guy in the Calgary system won't make it. If they do they will have trade value and you can sort it out then.
The first round is for skill ... Full stop. Worry about size later in the draft, or even in free agency.
