Given Burke's need for more beef, this presents a conundrum. Less skill and more size, or does he take the potential top six player who is vertically challenged.
Given his comments on Stempniak, if the player is thick built it may not be an issue but a lot of these players are thin, as are some of the +6'.
Will add another dimension to this draft and present interesting scenarios with our extra pick in the top 60.

However there's lots of players ranked in the top 10 that are over 6 feet. And since that is where our first is going to land looking at the size of the entire first round is misleading.
Ekblad - 6'4
Reinhart - 6'1
Bennett - 6'0
Dal Colle - 6'2
Draisaitl - 6'1
Ritchie - 6'2
Fleury - 6'2
Perlini - 6'2
Virtanen - 6'0
That's 9 players to pick from that are often ranked top 10 and are over 6'0. Plenty there.
The major players getting top 10 consideration that are under 6'0 are Nylander and Ehlers, I'd imagine we pass on them.
