Leaving out Justin Schultz (not sure why a prospect dman is in with the "Top 6" here) TSN shows them as:
RNH - 6'1 185
Eberle - 5'11 184
Gagner - 5'11 199
Hall - 6'1 195
Yakupov - 5'11 184
Perron - 5'11 196
Hemsky - 6'0 184
Even some of TSN's numbers seem a bit off, but they're more in line with what is commonly reported.

Hall seems to be wrong on ESPN as he is not that small...... or looks bigger playing with the small guys.
The Average NHL Forward is 6-1 204. The Oilers are like the bridges that are built with every component at the minimum allowable specification.
