Corey Pronman said of Pelletier, “He has all the tools you want minus his size”. Despite that praise, he was ranked 24th. In today’s NHL, does size still matter so much that a player with top 5 skill will end up in the latter half of the first round?

Manny’s model selects Sam Steel, Logan Brown, Matt Puempel, Travis Konecny, and Logan Couture as Pelletier’s comparables. Good company there.

A playmaker, Pelletier’s greatest strengths are his vision, creativity and skating. He’s a game-breaking offensive talent that is conscious of his defensive play.

Like Pronman said, Pelletier has everything but size. In today’s NHL, can’t we disregard that and recognize him as the top ten talent that he is?
