That height is well over a year old now so wouldn't be a surprise if he gained half-three quarters of an inch. Would feel comfortable saying 6'1 to be honest.

Don't think it's fudged. I am 185cm, which is just under 6'1". I recently saw him listed at 185cm as well (can't remember where, sorry). And when I recently saw him at the arena, I would say that if he isn't exactly my height, he is marginally taller. He is definitely 6'1".
FeyWest: pretty sure Draisaitl is 6'2". He is pretty big. But like I said in the draft thread, Bennett probably isn't done growing and will end up at least 6'1" if not bigger, so the size factor should not have been part of the Oiler's decision. But of course, Oilers gonna oil.
