Tough guys do it because generally they have a lack of mobility.
Byfuglien was originall to take advantage of his size coupled with his fitness issues.
Burns was drafted as a forward irrc.
Other players to do it:
Ian White
Jason Strudwick
Christoph Schubert
Scott Walker
Mathieu Dandenault
Brent Severyn
Chris McAllister
In general, it's not an advantage, but more of a necessity
