There might be no one who has a wider spectrum of potential career paths in the entire class of the 2025 NHL Draft, than Cameron Schmidt. When it comes to the Vancouver Giants winger, he will either fulfil his potential and become some sort of very solid goal scorer at the NHL level, or just never make it there and potentially play very limited professional hockey overall.
Why, though? Well, unfortunately, Schmidt is 5-foot-7. While height is often overrated as an attribute to judge a player on, there is a limit to that and around Schmidt’s height it becomes a legitimate limiting factor.
