Great positioning, smarts, and stickwork. High IQ, good vision and skill-even has a good work ethic, and forechecks well. He's a good skater too. He turned 18 in March, so what is missing?

Height and weight mean a lot to the GMs not able to move past a potential hurdle. Personally I think that 5'10 is the new 6'0, and once a player is into a good weight training program, weight shouldn't be an issue. I actually think that drafting underweight players with high skill in later rounds is a very good strategy.
