Quibbling over inches lmao

Yea it makes no sense to be so focused on height. We can see he’s above average size, and you don’t have to be Hedman or Chara sized to be a dominant two way defenseman, especially in today’s league. The biggest thing is that he shouldn’t have limitations with clearing the crease or being targeted on the forecheck the same way someone like Quinn can at his size.

I think its possible:

2021: I was a bit skeptical, but the draft isn't really that great, Guenther also exceeded his draft position so far and would most likely be the main contender. Power too I still feel like there should be a Buffalo exception to this conversation.

2019: Jack's potential never seems fully realized for various reasons, but it's still easily peaking a fairly strong draft, imo.

2018: This is where it's trickier for me. I think Quinn in a lot of cases has it, but if a team really wants a center Kotkaniemi is an appealing option.

Please tell me this is sarcasm.

If you needed a centre, you'd be better off picking Quinn and playing him at C

So the NHL website is lying and we should take you're word for it?:rolleyes:
NHL.com has Kadri listed as 6ft, I met him at the mall a few years back. I'm 5'10 and he's shorter than me and very scrawny in person, so yes NHL.com lies about players heights/weights.

Clearly he was standing straight and tall cause he knew he could be measured at any moment.:rolleyes:

No i'm sure he decided to squat down or shrink his legs just in time to say hi. Again i'm 5'10 which is average, a 6ft guy would clearly be taller than me, I was legitimately looking downward at him, he's not 6, he might not even be 5'9.

NHL.com had MSL listed at 5'9, he was like 5'6 tops. A lot of players are listed as much taller/heavier than they actually are for whatever reason.
