So yes, for now he should be considered a small/weak player based on his size. Not really a fit for us since we're relatively deep in small skilled guys and lack big skilled guys. There's enough big skilled guys this draft that I don't see us taking Ehlers or Nylande over them. I will be hoping somebody ahead of us takes one of them.
I agree. We don't need these guys for this exact reason, but nothing should stop the teams ahead of us from making him a top 5 pick. Suits us juuuuust fine...
