I've actually been very good at keeping my emotions in check since, about, April, for reasons I won't get into detail with here. I had a revelation or two. 

What it is is the IBS 

And the night of the ROR trade doesn't count, that was 99% theatrics

Irritable Brain Syndrome?  ?

I think you should stop analyzing things and move to Hollywood. 

Also.. I'm joking with you.

And yet.. if you look at the BMI matrix...

185 is smack dab in the ideal weight for 6'3.

23.1 in fact.

The real question is how much his mass is bone versus muscle at this point.  My guess, being Scandanavian, is that he has higher bone mass.  So he will put on muscle mass as he begins his workouts.

I was 6'3 185lbs my senior year in high school.

I believe that BMI index is not based on professional athletes.

Definitely not.  Muscle is denser than fat, so people with low fat percentage and high muscle mass will be healthy but appear overweight by the BMI measure.  I'm the opposite- I'm basically a skinny guy with a beer belly.  When I've lost the way, it came from the belly and I was still a skinny guy... but when my BMI is in the Normal range, that's when I feel best.

BMI might be one of the worst metrics out there to determine ideal weight.

The BMI chart in my doctors office has me overweight/borderline obese. I wear 30” waist. I also know people around my height with 36” very fit waist.

Can’t someone just be muscled?  The worst thing about it is some people read these things and judge themselves by it, but the people who really need to pay attention to it don’t care anyway. 

As for Dahlin, he’ll be fine.

Lord no!

I'm more along the Gilbert Perreault build, 5'10" 205. He's a couple of years older though.

I watch quite a bit of junior hockey and the majority of 17-19 year olds are built like Dahlean.

I am sure he'll fill out near 200 in a year or two. He will have the puck a lot so the opponents will have to catch him and then try to overpower him. He'll be fine.

[GoPuckYourself]

Ask Pekar if he's strong, didn't Dahlin bowl him over at the Tourny for cheap shoting him? He'll be just fine and is already our best Dman.

[Andrew Amerk]

If his name is pronounced “Da-Lean” then it’s only appropriate for him to be “lean.”

?‍♂️

That's actually the point I made earlier:  When you're tall it isn't so much how *strong* you are, it's how you use the leverage you've got.  That check on Pekar was a perfect example.

It's a great sign though since you can't teach toughness (ask Tyler Myers) so to see it in Dahlins game at his young game is pretty awesome and I agree totally about leverage.

Bruce Smith was 6'4", 265 and about 1% body fat, but BMI puts him at Obese. Its sub ideal.

[Wyldnwoody44]

I'm maybe 5 10 and I'm rocking a solid 193 right now..... However I have the same frame as Dahlin. 

 

Weird times man

33, almost double Dahlins age

 

Time is not our friend lol

[LGR4GM]

Nope. 

The point is, being that light at 18 makes sense. If he is that light at 22, well then we have issues.

Absolutley, I'm not worried about him. 

I was more just adding a comment as the whole tread turned into tall people and their weight ? I figured I'd add a short person and his weight in for fun (me)

 

 

[LGR4GM]

I follow. I felt like people were starting to worry. Anyways! This has been posted before but it is worth a re-watch.

 

[erickompositör72]

We don't have to be worried about what he'll look like in a couple of years, but his current frame as an NHL defenseman could be a shot-term liability. Ekblad was considered "NHL-ready" and draft sites listed him at 6'4", 216lbs

 

And Pekar isn't exactly a tank out there (yet)
