It seems to be the case with Connor Bedard. He is slated to be selected first overall in this year's draft with the Chicago Blackhawks. The Hawks, are currently in a rebuilding phase where they have essentially gutted the entire offensive line of talent and positioned themselves to select Bedard.
To be fair, many players of his age at 17 will continue to grow, develop and mature well after their draft time. It's certainly possible that he could become a much larger centreman, only time will tell.
There's also the adage that he may get hurt a lot because he's so small for a centerman in the NHL, but as Mitch Marner and other players of smaller size have shown is that their speed and skill set will prevent them from getting hit often.
