Did I read that correctly? He's 6'0" and 163 pounds?

I know that not everybody needs to be a hulk, but I hope he's chauffeured between the rink and the gym for a few years before he gets snapped in half over here.

Yeah, guy seems like a beanpole judging from the scouting info. Good call getting him out of a men's league.

Kronwall was pretty much the same size when he was drafted.

All these kids are twigs outside of a few manchildren. And even then, NHL stats pad some players. You won't ever convince me Mike Ribeiro has ever weighed over 150 pounds :laugh:

He looked like a prisoner of war in his team pictures.

MOD

4 years effective Gym training and he'll be 190-200lbs. That's two years in juniors and 2 seasons at Griffins.

A project.

This Eliteprospects picture is from 2016 draft combine.

At least he doesn't look to have body fat... there's some visible muscles to do a workout. :)

Will be nice to compare him with Saarijarvi in the same league.

That'll be an interesting comparison.

I'm mostly interested in seeing how he stacks up against other D-men in general throughout the league. Hopefully he has a good year logging some big minutes.

He doesn't look like a bean pole at all and he has a matureish development beginning in his face. Villi looked like a straight up middle schooler when he was drafted. I think if hronek spends sometime at the gym and lots calories he will be fine.

Is it normal to sign a prospect at 18? I read he had one year left in his EU league, was drafted by a OHL team so by signing him to an ELC that negates his contract in the EU. Is this true?

I was 6'1, 155 lbs around my 18th birthday.. It's nothing too crazy, out of the ordinary.
