One thing most of the midgets who stick in the NHL have is legs like tree trunks. Fleury and St. Louis are built like fire hydrants. Heck, even Nathan Gerbe is almost 180 lbs. In the NHL you can't dance around everyone on the ice like you can against the pilons in college hockey. You're going to get leaned on. So you need those powerful legs and a solid centre of gravity. That'll take time to develop. And best to spend that time in the AHL.

Pretty much everyone challenges the stats on Kane - there is no way he is over 180 lbs
5'9" and 170-175 lbs is probably closer to the truth
