I know it sounds kind of silly based on his ranking through the year, but I always worry that when CHL kids are successful based partly on their physical play, they won't have the same success against bigger players.
As long as the team that takes him lets him build up strength it shouldn't be a big deal. One of the biggest and most devasting hitting forwards I've watched in my lifetime was 5'11 Mike Peca.
