He may have to change his style of play at the next level or his body may break down early, sort of how Mike Richards is a shadow of his former self despite being quite young at 29. Can he be effective if he has to reduce the grit he currently brings to the table? (This has nothing to turn with Pullupgate.)
I have no idea about any of these players and only get this impression from reading various draft profiles.

I don't see his size being an issue. I think he'll have a similar effectiveness and intensity as Duchene.
Though looking it up I was surprised to see Duchene was 190lbs at his draft? Wow.
