Flames last 4 first rounders don't show me some sort of size priority:
23: Honzek 6'4
21: Coronato 5'10
20: Zary 6'0
19: Pelletier 5'9
I don't think there's any demonstrable size bias in later rounds either. Some picks are big, sure, but more are average and a fair number are small.

Conroy himself said it was a priority to add size last draft.
Regardless, the size thing isn’t so much of them going out and drafting huge players, it’s that they are overlooking smaller guys who have dominated like Stankoven and Hutson.
When you’re not picking at the top of the draft, it’s extremely difficult to add elite level skill. I would just prefer they took more of these swings in the second round since they aren’t drafting in the top 10.
