Roy's 6'1", at most. He used to be listed at 6' then grew to 6'2" in his late 20s
.Sato isn't near 5'11".

If there's 1 thing we know about modern hockey, we have to know a players exact height to know how talented they are...

Chris Osgood is 5'11, and when Roy got into brawls with him Roy looks taller easily looks taller.

Osgoods 5'10", Roys around 6'1", so obviously this would be the case.
Like I said, the other player Aleksei Sergeev is 5’10’’.
Funny thing, they talked about him on Quebec radio last week and noted how he there was no way he was 5'11... Or 5'10" for that matter. Hockey heights are exagerated, nothing new here. Brink somehow lost 2 inches at the combine. Height won't be the determining factor if he makes the NHL or not.

Sato is getting praises from Roy after the first preseason game.
He scored a goal, had 3 shots on goal and 3 hits.

Updated heights and weights at the Remparts camp have him at 5’9’’ and 162 lbs.
Problem solved.
Well, would you look at that.

5 foot 9 / 162 lbs is more than enough in the NHL/hockey world today.
Not sure why so many here is worried about his measurements.
Yeah, maybe for a super skilled player. It's a factor for sure, it's really difficult to argue otherwise.

I wouldn't go that far. Sato's agent is Igor Larionov whom evidently has connections with the club. His son (Igor Jr.) made the cut and wasn't pivotal in the slightest.

EEK!
Was he drafted by Quebec or signed by them? Seems interesting to take a flyer on a kid who was playing in a low Finnish junior level.

Drafted but the way the import draft works they might as well sign the player. There are usually agreements in place with the player before the pick is made to ensure they will be coming over.
Both. Quebec took him in the import draft to get his rights, then recently signed him. Will definitely be interesting to see how he does, this will be a big jump in competition.

The main problem with Igor Jr, despite being talented, is that he's always injured. The season he played in Quebec he missed 43 games because of 3-4 different injuries. Same story the year after with Windsor and last year with Muskegon. It probably hurt his development.
Larionov Jr was acquired as a free agent in a down year, which is very different from selecting a player in the CHL Import Draft. Most of the time, teams choose players in that draft so they can make their roster right away.
He's having a good training camp but we'll see what he can do during the real season.

Scored yesterday in Quebec's 3-1 preseason win over Rimouski. Plays again tonight. From what I was told, he was excellent.
Also, FWIW, his 1.42 P/G in BSMS isn't far off from Mantykivi (1.44) and Suni (1.57). Clearly this kid has skills and speed, and who the hell cares if he's 5'9 or 5'8? It's not 1995.
Top 150 for the draft in my rankings.
