I'll say this, for Liljegren, I valued him a lot less at 5'11" than i did thinking he was 6'0" or taller. His combine measurement made me do a double take. Going into the season he was supposed to be around Drew Doughty or PK Subban-sized, but he turned out to be closer to Ryan Ellis or Anton Stralman sized. Which doesn't make him a bad prospect - I still wanted him - but probably put a bit of a ceiling on his overall upside. Not many #1 defensemen are under 6'0" - only Karlsson comes to mind and he is the best offensive defenseman since Orr.
