Thompson is the one-per-decade 6'6+ guy that is actually decent.
Yet at least 1-2 of them go in the first round every year, taken by teams hoping for Chara's and Thompsons.
I like size, but the risk goes up exponentially for every inch over 6'5.
Sam Dickinson is a great prospect. Likely end's up at 6'4, yet is still one of the best skaters. Lindstrom is similar, if he can stay healthy.
