Things to work on for sure, but see no reason to question his chances at playing C.

and think Point was listed as like 5'9" in his draft yr fwiw

He's likely not even that tall TBH.

Here's a picture with 6'1'' Sam Reinhardt:



That's a lot more than a 2 inch difference.

Dude…
(Also that’s 6’4” Travis Seinham being dwarfed by closest to frame Reinhardt)

Some people in the stands are smaller than his nose!

Reschny is a Sask farm boy. I don't care what his height is, he'll probably be one of those guys that can break his leg and not even notice for a week.

You can still find the height and weight results from the 2014 Combine—LWOS has them.

Sam R.: 6'0.75", 185 lbs
Brayden P.: 5'9.75", 160 lbs
Reschny: 5'10.75", 180 lbs

I don’t think height alone defines size. It’s a combination of height and weight, and based on that, Reschny looks like he’ll be big enough.

Aside from the issue of reach, which is a mainly a defensive tool for a centre, weight or heft is a bigger asset than height. Mackinnon is a modest 6'0" but he's a bull. Crosby has a bit of that in him too.

Reschny has centered McKenna before at the U17's
