Also, the funny thing is some people asking for size, how about a 6'2 210lb winger with soft hands? Is that the 'size' you want?
Because that is Alex (bongo drums) Semin, available as we type!
I'm assuming the answer is no, so What is 'size'? Height is the most overrated stat line there is, I mean what advantage does being 2 inches taller have in a hockey game?? Give me a 5'11, 190lb player over a 6'2 170lb player from a size perspective any day of the week!
And how many of these kids have scouting reports that say 'doesn't use his size' or 'plays on the perimeter'. He can be as big as you want, but if he doesn't use it, it's useless. You could have biggest team in the league and get your ass handed to you every night.
People scan down the height of our draft picks and jump to 'too small'. Did anyone notice that our 6'3 draft pick is skinny, but Bracco is already 190lbs and built solid?
It's not size you want people - it's skill with grit, toughness, and high compete. You'd be surprised how many different sized packages that comes in!
