Did Chris Tanev grow taller? He's now listed as 6'3"

I think mostly Drasaitl but not so much McDavid.

Yeah, it's been mostly Draisaitl, but his third most common line configuration has been playing with both of them.

Played for the Stars, and everything is bigger in Texas.

Logan Cooley was listed at 5’10.5 at combine. Up to 6’0 on nhl.com. Can an 18 year old grow 1.5 inches still?

Combine numbers serve as the base. Always possible to grow a little taller but most kids won’t. Supposedly D Petey grew post draft as well.

Nfl combine is 21 year olds and older. So their measured height is final.

If Tanev was listed at 6’2 for Van and Cal it is odd that he’s now listed at 6’3 for Tor.

Defenseman Elias Pettersson grew about that much between the combine and the start of his D+2.

I've mentioned before here that Mattias Ohlund was 6'2 or 6'3 for his entire Vancouver career and then somehow in his mid-30s in TB grew an inch and became 6'4.

NHL lacks consistency in these measurements, plus lacks visibility when it comes to injuries. Not sure what the point is in adding an inch to a player. I'm not a gambler, but I don't think I'd bet too much on the NHL when injury info isn't disclosed.

NFL, they have to report what body part is hurt and how much you practiced during the week. Lots of potential prop bets for a WR or RB as well as knowing who's likely guarding them so if a CB has a bad hamstring, can put your bet on the WR and vice versa to go under if the WR is hobbled.
