He's listed as 6'2" and 185 on his Wisconsin athletic dept profile page. I don't know how often they update those but I think it's safe to say that a kid who is 6'1" to 6'2" and is a two time Hobey Baker award finalist, two time all america, two time WCHA d-man of the year shouldn't have any problem transitioning to the NHL. It's not like he's 5'5" or has some bizarre nutrition ailment like he can't eat anything other than organic, free range turnips.
