1) I don't think Keller is a slam dunk. There's risk with everybody past the top 2. Matthews and Laine are the only players in this draft I think are a Slam Dunk

2) Sorry if it's gotten to a point of ad nauseam repetition. I agree my opinion is only my opinion and my intent is not even to sway anyone else's opinion.

I don't think it's at all unfair to be of the opinion that if a number of prospects look to be equal, that we look towards those bigger and stronger with skill rather than those who are small and skilled. There's just no need to keep chopping away at this notion as though it's unfair. It's sound logic.
I don't believe anyone in this thread is arguing anything otherwise, myself included. But FDW has been intent on responding to all discussion of Nylander and Keller as if simply discussing them is blasphemous. It gets grating. Especially when he makes sweeping accusations like "you are just biased towards smaller skilled players because you have (six-foot tall) Jost ahead of Tkachuk".

If Keller was 6'2" his name would be Auston Matthews
