So that the article doesn't go unnoticed, here's the part about Erne (and there's a Cameron Darcy piece too)

3. Adam Erne (TBL), RW, Quebec Remparts

Adam Erne, Duclair’s teaqmmate in Quebec, plays with more of an edge than the two players listed above him, but also brings an abundance of skill to the ice. The American, who is in his fourth season with the Remparts, finished the year with a career-high 86 points in 60 games. He also recorded a career-high 102 penalty minutes. At 6’2 and 218 pounds, Erne is often one of the more physically-inclined players on the ice and uses his size well to establish position in the offensive zone.

Throughout his four-year career in the QMJHL, Erne has scored 118 goals and collected 157 assists, making him one of the more offensively talented American players to play in the league. He was recognized for his effort by USA Hockey when he was selected for the 2014 World Junior team, but was left off of this year’s team, which, coincidentally, could have used his rugged style of play in its lineup.

Erne is 218? Holy ****. I thought he might be 205.
