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.

1 inch makes that much of a difference? I know in some places it does but in this instance I wouldn't say it is a big deal.
