I'll piss Bongo off and go out on a limb and speak in definitives, saying neither will be NHL players. Both are too small and have not dominated the minor league levels in any shape or form. Both are getting too old and don't have the time left to be a dominant player. I see a European.

Those numbers say a lot. And I’ll go out on a limb and say that there are a lot more humans at 5’7” than at 6’7”, so it’s not like you get too tall to play in the NHL - there just aren’t a lot that size to draw upon.
