Traverse City — Vili Saarijarvi knows he’s not going to get taller, so forget about that.
Listed as 5-foot-10, Saarijarvi isn’t physically imposing, may not see over some opposing teams’ players, so he has to compensate as well.
“I’m probably not going to get so much taller, so it’s about adding size (muscle) and putting on some weight and getting strong,” said Saarijarvi, who is participating in the Red Wings’ development camp. “I know I’m a good skater and I can skate and play that game.
“So it’s about getting stronger.”
Saarijarvi remains one of the Red Wings’ top prospects, after being drafted in the third round of the 2015 NHL Draft.
