I suppose I could be content if Reschny has a Sakic-level career.

The only perceived skating issues Reschny had pre-draft was top speed, his edges and quickness was never an issue and some say was even elite.
I'm told he looked a lot faster last month, it's not uncommon for a kid to gain a lot of speed as they get older and stronger.

Joe Sakic was also a high scoring, but slightly undersized centre when he was drafted mid first round out of the WHL.
Quote from a scout at the time about Sakic:
“Usually, a player of this calibre would be certain to go in the top five. The reason he probably won’t is his size and average skating ability.”

We've come so far in the intervening 40 years.

I'm not too worried about Reschny's size holding him back from being an NHL center. He has intensity and grit which is what often makes the difference between and slightly undersized player making it or not. It's almost more of a personality type than a tangible skill.

Draft video, 2nd hug. Is that dad? Big-shouldered tank of a human. This kid may have mega mass gains ahead of him. May not need the height.

I place a fairly high emphasis on the importance of size, and I have no real concerns when it comes to Reschny. He's 5'11", well over 190lbs by some accounts, and is farmboy strong.

Yep. The Flames pay a lot of attention to ‘compete’.

Personally think the last couple if years the flames have taken the i would rather reign in a stallion and than drag a mule approach with players.
