In the two drafts that have taken place during the reign of Ron Hextall, General Manager, there's been an intriguing inclination -- more of one than there appears to have been in previous years, at least -- towards players who are a bit smaller than the average professional hockey player tends to be. This is particularly so up front, where we've seen top-50 draft picks used on the likes of 5-foot-10 Travis Konecny and Nicolas Aube-Kubel (both of whom will show up later on in this countdown) and later picks used on 6-foot types such as Radel Fazleev and Cooper Marody (who came up in this very space yesterday).
