It's a solid choice. Size obviously is not a factor when you skate with the puck like Hughes. Gretzky, Gaudreau, Kane, Giroux, Fowler, Karlsson. No once notices size when your elite. Today's NHL more then ever. Vegas just made the finals because of speed not size. Speed wins now. Canucks are one of the worst teams because there defense isn't fast enough and can't move the puck well. This pick is great for Vancouver.
