I'm sure some of the stats are a little dated. A lot of these kids are still growing. Mackenzie's list has him at 6'0 (that's the list I used) and so does Button's. CSS has him at 6 foot, 3/4 inch.

I can't seem to find the CHL top prospects testing results which should be the most up to date. We will get the best measurements from the combine.

Here's the CSS rankings w/height/weight

1 BENNETT, SAMUEL 6' 0.25" 178
2 DRAISAITL, LEON 6' 1.75" 208
3 EKBLAD, AARON BARRIE 6' 3.5" 216
4 REINHART, SAM 6' 0.75" 185
5 DAL COLLE, MICHAEL 6' 1.5" 179
6 FLEURY, HAYDN 6' 2.5" 198
7 RITCHIE, NICHOLAS 6' 2.25" 231
8 PERLINI, BRENDAN 6' 2.5" 205
9 VIRTANEN, JAKE 6' 0.75" 208

Some of these kids will probably sprout another inch. So all in all it's a pretty good year for big players. Tons of guys over 6'0. A surprising amount of them over 200 lbs already. Not a horrible year to finish out of the top 3 considering our need is for size/strength. Our scouts should have a nice selection of big players to pick from in the #4-6 range.
