The best player in the League is 5'11", 200lbs. It's not even really about your height and weight, it's your ability and willingness to use it.
It's not a Bennet vs Edmonton thread. Calgary fans obviously like the player they drafted. Edmonton drafted Draisaitl ahead of him because they liked him more. Give it two or three years before bothering to compare their impact because let's face it, neither haven't made any.
My original post was in response to someone saying they can't believe edmonton passed on Bennett. I then stated that if the Oilers had taken bennett, the same people on these boards would be laughing that we took "another small skilled injury prone forward". It had nothing to do with who's better, who will be better, or who fits better. Just a statement on the view of the prospect based solely on the team that drafted him.
Hence the discussion.
