Weird, he must have had a sub-par combine, and by the looks of it, not one single gram of weight put on over the season.
I have a feeling I am right when I say he will slip out of the top 10.
If you're going by those combine media guide numbers for his height/weight they're not actually from the combine measurements. Anyhow, there's nothing wrong with a player not putting on weight over the course of a season. Most athletes lose weight over the season, but maybe it's a bit different for guys this age due to growth.
Now, many prospects put on weight between the end of their season and the combine as they train for it, but each player's dealing with different circumstances in terms of time frame, injury rehab, etc -- not to mention body type. Ehler's season went deeper than most. But again, as far as I know his combine measurements aren't known to the public. I'd be curious to see what his actual current height is. Too bad the NHL has the only combine that doesn't release all its information.
I wouldn't be surprised if he slipped out of the top 10 but I think it's more likely he goes in there. The thing is there are a few guys comparable to Ehlers like Nylander, Kapanen, and Fiala who all bring gamebreaking skating and puck skills with average/below-average frames. It's not hard to imagine several different teams keen on adding such a player would order their preferences among those guys quite differently. It's also not hard to imagine any one of those guys ending up the superior player.
