Ronni has size. Flames have been trending towards bigger players in recent drafts. Passing on smaller skilled guys for bigger players (strongren over stankoven).
Comes with perils as you might be missing on gems. But recent cup winners are built with bigger players. Just a matter of picking the right players with size and upside, and avoiding the Cole Huckins of the world.
