Shawn Boudrias may not ever make it to the NHL level, that’s a risk that the Minnesota Wild take and countless other teams take on sixth rounders; more fail than succeed.
However, not all of the players have the physical attributes that make Boudrias appealing to a team. The Minnesota Wild, no doubt, picked him up in part because he measures up at 6’5″ and tips the scales at 216lbs as a 19 year-old.
He’s not about to be mistaken for Zdeno Chara or Dustin Byfuglien, but with a bit more bulk, he sure as heck could get close in comparison.
