At the time of his draft, he was measured at 6-feet-0.75, 196 pounds during the combine. So he’s at least that, if not a little more now.

Feels like you are being too literal. I'm talking about his impact on the ice. Not whether or not he gets time on Horvat's line. Just watch and see. Abby fans might want him there, but that ain't happening.
Getting a little caught up on what's the 1st/2nd/3rd/4th line are we...? That Horvat line could easily be called the "2nd line". Fwiw Ritchie produces at a .5ppg rate. More than a "4th liner". We could use someone like him to balance out our lines.
Hoglander - EP - Boeser
Ritchie - Miller - Podkolzin
Pearson - Horvat - Garland
Motte - Dickinson - MacEwen
*If EP is good enough in the dot. Roll 3 offensive lines.
Missed this leap on his play. Florida seems to be betting on his play continuing and getting a bargain. He was often the only one that showed up in the playoffs for Calgary. Good add.
The last one in my memory is Maxime Comtois. Fell to #50 in the second round after being ranked as high as #4 in the first round by Bob's pre-season ranking. https://www.tsn.ca/mckenzie-s-pre-season-ranking-the-nolan-patrick-draft-1.567410
Granted he also had a few guys ranked high that haven't turned out well.
