They have talked about deviating from the lists the past. If they didn’t we wouldn’t have taken Gaudreau.

Size is part of ranking a prospect. You don't have one list with little guys and one list with big guys. Size is a factor in assembling where you rank guys.
Smith was considered the top over-ager that year because his production really shot up in the OHL. He was projected to be a late 2nd rounder or 3rd rounder. That's where he went.
