I’d rather spend picks on a Johnny Gaudreau and Adam Fox than junk like Keegan Kanzig and Hunter Smith because they are big.
It’s that type of thinking that holds teams back.

The point of drafting big players like Honzek and Stromgren is that you're hoping they turn into Rantanen or Thompson - ie. Big skilled guys that just need to figure out how to put it all together. They have just as much of a chance to turn out as smaller guys like Gaudreau and Fox, except when they do turn out, they are better players because they have size.
