In a couple years this is there D core and its going to rock

Man a guy signed out of College being a top 2 D? I would think this is unlikely

In the world of 6'4 6'5 forwards I would really really really hope your plans aren't going with your tallest defense man being 6'1.

Not only will they get the crap beat into them on the forcheck, but those bigger forwards are going to park in front of the net. Considering there aren't any really guys on the team in the forward group who can respond. You are going to be looking at getting pushed around all over the ice.

Jared spurgeon disagrees...

I think his depth assignments are a bit off but the idea is there. Between Hollowell and Duszak chances are that one becomes a top 4 D.

funny he missed 20 games last year due to injury. Matter of fact he's only played 70+ games in like 4 seasons.
There are a hand full of players that small in the league. You can look at Krug too. But lets be clear, he was a 6th round draft pick for a reason. He's played well but he's not out there by himself. They have a Pateryn out there at 6'3.

In general that is what teams are looking for. 6'3, 6'4. With players on the smaller end being 6 foot.
You look at the rest of that roster. Folgino, Staal, Fehr, Greenway.
There is at least size somewhere on the roster. A place to push back from. There is no push back anywhere on the roster above.
