87th Overall Dmitri Kostenko

Hmm, he's 5" taller than Caufield, but he's only 5 lbs heavier.  That sounds nutbar light for a dman.  It seems like he needs to gain quite a bit of muscle to be an effective dman in the NHL.

Welcome to half of the 18 year olds in this draft.  Its a common thing.  They have a growth spurt but haven't added the muscle yet.

They dont always add the muscle though.  He's close to being 12 lbs under weight for his height.  He should probably be 6' 185lbs and in time eventually be 195 lbs.  Thats 22 lbs he needs to gain to be average size for his height. 

 

Sorta reminds me a Malkin, who is 6'4" and was around 180-185 when he was drafted.  He was scrony when he was drafted, and he's 194lbs now.  However, that is still 10lbs under average weight for his height.  Malkin gets away with it because he's a F and has elite talent.

Moe Robinson comes to mind, tall and skinny. He never filled out. Todays training and diets should fill him out though.
