As for your other complaint

6'2
190lbs
And that was when he was in the A. He's probably gotten bigger since making it to the big leagues. NHL is notorious for never updating these things, they've still got Monahan at 185 when he's probably playing in at around 205-210. |
Thanks, It's weird that theahl.com is different than literally every other website including NHL.com. I checked the first 10 results on google and it's all 6'1" for Brodie.
Regardless though, they are very similar sizes and unless Kylington plays a shut-down physical defender style (which he doesn't) than we don't need to be concerned about his size. He's not Kris Russell small or anything.
It's also not fair to say he needs to have the smarts of a Karlsson to get by at his weight. Wideman is the same height as Kylington too and isn't overly smart. Giordano is able to be physical, offensive and defensive style hockey at 6 feet tall.
