if you can find 12 Marners that might work but my point is you need a mix of players and loading up on small skilled guys every draft isn't an effective use of your picks
When you're drafting, you're finding the best players available all the time. They won't be ready for years unless you are lucky. Constructing your team by drafting for needs is terrible and a very outdated way of thinking. It's not how it should work.
The last thing I'd look at is the height of a player if they are efficient at their current level and demonstrate potential. If the player is 6'5", then so be it... but forcing that pick just because you need a big player is really terrible.
I sure as hell wish we drafted DeBrincat instead of Korshkov, even if it's a little early to say. I sure as hell wish we could have drafted Mete over Middleton as well and I think you'd be crazy not to be.
