I don't really see it as skill and then size.
I think size is apart of the "skillset" umbrella.
Skillset is made up of:
Skating
IQ
Puck Handling
Shooting
Physicality (Size)
etc..
Then there's some sub categories for each. Skating could have speed and agility as difference subsets. Physicality would have size and toughness as subsets.
I don't think size and offense are mutually exclusive, especially at the NHL level. There are lots of high skill guys that can't produce at the NHL level because they get boxed out.
I do think they have to consider all these traits and how they fit into our bigger picture.
