Why so focused on small forwards though? I gather you think they are the potential home runs while the bigger players are safer? I'm not sure that's an accurate characterization
Almost no chance we take Yamamoto with us already having Phillips and Gaudreau. I could be wrong. I think teams can only have so many of those small, skilled guys. I guess CHI agrees :P

Vesalainen is big...suzuki is listed at 5'10" 185lbs - while that isn't quite prototypical NHL size I don't know if its small...Tolvanen is 5'10 175... so under sized, but i wouldn't call them tiny.
Yamamoto is small for sure...but if he's there, i'd pick him up...Just because these guys are picked doesn't mean they make the NHL...And if guys like phillips and yamamoto (if picked) make the NHL, they can always be flipped for other assets.
I am not a draft expert, and don't suggest I am... these are the guys that seem to be elite offensive talents that might be available at 16...
