    Excellent podcast! Looking forward to the next one… To your point about NHL teams wanting big sized players ( Daniil But etc.)to be able to withstand the grind of the playoffs, it’s makes a lot of sense, however I’m sure a team that had
    hypothetically speaking , a Crosby, Patrick Kane, Brad Marchand, Makar and Fox , all in their prime, all under 6 ft, would have no trouble winning quite a few Stanley Cups..

      Thank you Rich.

      All of the players you just mentioned are thick and listed between 5-10 and 6-0 with the exception of the very stocky Marchand, who is 5-9.5. You’re not saying that Caufield, Farrell, Gallagher, Mesar, RHP, and Hutson are as big or as good as those guys?

      I don’t believe I ever suggested that the Habs couldn’t win with three forwards and two defencemen between 5-10 and 6-0 who are superstars. But five wingers in the top nine between 5-7 and 5-10…and none of them named Crosby or Kane? You aren’t winning too many Cups I don’t think. 🙂

    Really enjoyed this! One stop shopping for recap of prospects and draft insight.
    The segment on Mesar was great in that I don’t have a lot of information on his development.
