I understand the deference to bigger guys with skill — it's why I didn't mind the Honzek pick — but I don't love the trend of picking guys like Ronni, Stromgren, Huckins, Kuznetsov, Whynot, Boltmann, and Nikolaev with seconds and thirds. No, you can't only pick smaller guys like Carolina does but the Flames have really missed the mark with the bigger guys seemingly more than their fair share in recent years.

I understand wanting to be patient with a guy like Stromgren and while he does have some appealing attributes, it's impossible not to be disappointed with how he's played since he was drafted. 30 goals and 60 points in a season is an extremely lofty target for him at this point.
