On those scores above, the ones that interest me from that list are Monahan and Horvat. Barkov having 11.8% body fat, despite being a 17 year old pro hockey player, is a bit of a potential worry.

I'm not surprised about Barkov's body fat given he has a chubby looking face. You would hope as he matures he will do better here as nothing upsets NHL teams more than athletes coming to camp out of shape.
