IIRC the average height of an NHL forward is 6'0" (defense tends to be a bit bigger), so it's quite possible both of these guys are average height by the time they finish growing.
It's not like they took two guys that are 5'7". For Potter especially to have success as a 17 year old in the NCAA kind of shows that him being 5'9 3/4" didn't hurt him that much.

My post was not a criticism of either player. I think both picks were terrific. And I agree, either or both could still grow.
I like the pick. Full stop.
But you can't have too many small players. Simple fact.
