Last year Lane Hutson easily had 1st round production, but dropped to the 2nd because of his size. Now he's breaking NCAA records.
Honestly it would be easy to be a GM and just stockpile 2nd and 3rd round picks and just take these high potential but undersized players.

if there is one player in every draft, then 31 fan bases will lament the failure to draft that guy.
Turns out the Flames having drafted Fox, Gaudreau and Wolf are pretty good at finding and drafting that one guy
