I watched the McCagg podcast and it never happened. The only time that they mention someone being 5’7” is at around the 18:15 minute mark when they talked about Zetterberg (being 5'7" and struggling on the boards). Bergqvist is not mentioned in that podcast at all. So no, I don’t see him as a fraud. What I do see is someone with an agenda spreading misinformation
Bergqvist was mentioned but you are right and I am entirely wrong as it was in fact Zetterberg that they were talking about. I never watch this podcast very intently and got burned with my own confirmation bias here. This stuff is only ever on while I am working and they did mention Bergqvist previous to Zetterberg so when they were still talking about a Swedish kid I just assumed it was Bergqvist and not the crappy undrafted invite. Hockeydb do have him mistakenly listed at 5'6" so I further assumed that this was where their mistake was born.....anyways my bad and it doesn't change the fact that Grant is a fake scout who worked one single season in his life as a part time scout but it does high lite the fact that I need to be more diligent about vetting my opinion when it is this strong before sharing it and acting like a Dbag myself.
There is no agenda, Grant is objectively bad but my take here was even worse and I have no issue owning that.
