Comments like the bolded really make me scratch my head. Doesn't that apply to almost every guy? We already see a prospect in Tie Domi who could be a top 10 pick if he was 3 inches taller.
If Mackinnon (sp?) was 3 inches shorter he would be a mid to late 1st round pick... I'm thinking you shouldn't be using that as a reason for saying why a player is likely to bust or sets off a red flag.
Some guys will be blessed with extra height or cursed with a less than ideal stature but it's always going to be something you'll have to take with the rest of the package. Pointing out where they would be if they were x inches taller/shorter seems moot.
Though I am also guilty of also daydreaming what a sudden miracle growth spurt would do for Gaudreau. 6'2"? *drool*
