If the Sabres’ roster sheet is to be believed, it appears Kulich has grown two inches and gained 15 pounds, Benson has grown an inch and gained 7 pounds, and Rosen has grown an inch and gained 5 pounds

A friend of mine is a nasty hockey player. He didn’t pursue it because at the age of 18, he was (iirc) 5’10” and knew it was an uphill battle at his size so he pursued other carer paths. At the age of almost 30, he’s 6 foot 3.
It wouldn’t surprise me of these numbers were real.
The only meaningful one is Kulich, as if this is correctly measured then it means he has grown at least an inch since his draft combine. Benson was already well beyond 5’9″ at the time of his combine so this is unchanged. And Rosén’s 5’11”>6’0″ might just be a thicker pair of socks since his height has only been reported in full inches.
Only 1 righty in the whole lineup is very odd though.
That’s a good training camp lol
Martin Jones the #3 goalie for the Leafs apparently grew 1 inch over the summer at age 34 (more likely a miss measure). These are young kids so they probably grew.
