I do see a ton of small, fast forwards. Move some of them and eliminate an obvious weakness
It's easy to think they are small. Of all the top tier forwards, Heinen, DeBrusk, Bjork, JFK, Senyshyn, none are under 6 foot. Only Ryan Fitzgerald and Austin Czarnik are considered small, and I don't consider them top tier prospects.
Are they in the Lucic mold , definitely not. I haven't seen the Prov players, but Heinen and DeBrusk don't shy away from contact, and yes it would be nice if they had a player like that down on the farm.
As far as drafting one, if player A was six foot, skilled and the bpa, and player B was a 6 foot 4 inch 230 lb maybe they make the nhl player , and Sweeney drafted player B, he'd catch hell on here.
