Great so it is confirmed Boqvist will turn out like Karlsson

Wonder why he is isnt ranked #1

shocking

You got it wrong again. Karlsson was a bust because of a 7 game stint.

As legend has it, at the 2017 NHL Entry Draft an executive from an unspecified team was overheard saying: “If Elias Pettersson weighed 20 more pounds he would have gone first overall.”

It’s such a ridiculous sentiment which you’d expect to hear from one of the game’s dinosaurs. Patrick Kane went first overall in 2007 weighing 160 pounds. He seems to have worked out OK.

“We do still talk about size but there’s less hesitation because you’re seeing many undersized guys have success,” said Judd Brackett, the Canucks’ director of amateur scouting. “It is still relevant but guys are finding ways to play regardless of size.

Yeah seen all that before, they're referring to weight when they say "size". Semantics, whatever you refer weight to can mean different things to different people. To me, in hockey, if you're small you're short, in football running backs are 5'10" 235lbs, different scenarios.

Not many hockey players are heavy.

Draft +1 season for John Klingberg
Frölunda HC SHL 26 0 5 5
Borås HC Allsvenskan 7 1 0 1

I think anybody who at anytime plays 7 games in the Allsvenkan and scores 1 point should not be overlooked EVER.

Height & weight are irrelevant.
Toughness speed agility smarts & skills

Height & Weight add to the total package they do not mean anything on there own.

All said i would err on the side of size if too close to call but explains why so many players can slide & be gems later in the draft.

4 lines rolled out every shift all game long & coached to play that way. WD wanted that but he forced it when it wasn’t there.
