the number of guys who are as talented as JOhnson in the NHL is very very small. Drafting small guys because they'll turn out like him is also a dumb draft strategy

i dont think anybody is going to draft guys because theyre small though

Lotsa heart, big goalie, wanted it more. Draft more big defencemen.
its not even just drafting small dudes, its drafting guys who ripped apart chl/ncaa/europe but werent blue chippers. its a more effective strategy than drafting the projectable guys who arent productive, and its more to do with your picks round 4-7 where teams are just winging it anyways

problem is even small guys who looked really skilled at 18 are probably not skilled enough to be good NHL scorers. That said yeah no reason to avoid taking them altogether

You're preaching to the converted man. Even the most basic piece of analysis will tell you that lots of points in the minors/college/Europe has the highest chance of translating to success in the NHL. It's obviously not a foolproof strategy, but when a draft pick is essentially a lottery ticket might as well buy the one with a $1,000,000 prize instead of the one with the $100 prize if the odds are the same (and they aren't, draft skill).

E: with that said Johnson is not a great example of this. He was never a big point producer in junior until his overage season, and even then 100+ points from an overage forward is pretty standard. A lot of very forgettable players have had much better junior careers and gone on to work for moving companies 3 years later.

I think we all knew the Rangers would lose a special teams battle with Tampa but I dont' think we were expecting that would include giving up a 5 on 3 goal shorthanded

Or they just call every little (non holding and interference) thing and the game never ends for all the whistles.
