Pretty appropriate regarding this pick.

If I remember correctly he suggested that hockey players benefited greatly from being among the oldest in their group, ie born in Jan, Feb, or March. This is due to minor hockey programs streaming at a very young age, so players at the age of 5, 6, 7 years old where the difference in 8-11 months of growth contribute largely to a players development, and this will impact later success. Not sure how that applies to this pick.
