serious question............dont you have to be the clear best in the age group to even be considered for exceptional status? And to be best in the age group, wouldnt you have to start by being the best on your own team? i'm just looking for clarity, cause if its that easy i might put my kids name in the hat for exceptional status.
Answer:
You need to be the best 2010
As a 2011DOB
To be the best 2010 as a 2011, don’t you first have to be the best 2011? Asking for a friend

KOR is a really good player. But exceptional status? Pipe dream. Just gonna make the kid get an even bigger target than he already has.

Of KO does indeed play up…it will be interesting to see if he can become a team player and not be the main event.
The best D in 2011 G isn’t even on one of the top 3 and he’s not declaring exceptional. I wish KO well but genetics will play a roll. His dad is barely 5-9. If you haven’t noticed
NHL is going big again, Vegas and Florida D are huge 6-2 plus.

There are certainly smaller D however the average height of a NHL D is 6 feet 2 inches tall.

You also named small D with above average IQ.
Unfortunately they are rare.
The G has very few with excellent IQ.
