Tkachuk is not huge either, as he's still on the smaller half of the prospects projected to go top 10.

Also, none of these guys really play small. Not even Keller (to an extent).
Only thing I'll say here is 6'1 is not small for any NHL'er it's league average if I am not mistaken, so even if a team wants to get Bigger, you're not losing anything taking a 6'1" player in the draft. Other than that, I feel like we're in agreement here.
