I love Johnny...but if he was 6'5 he might be the best player ever?
In my view if Johnny was 6'5 he would lose everything that makes him Johnny, meaning his quick 180 turns, his acceleration and mouse-like change of pace etc. He would be a very skilled 6'5 player. Maybe like an inch taller Getzlaf but a winger.
Johnny is like a matador he wouldnt be the same if he was the bull. I dont think Johnny needs to be big just like Kane doesnt need to be big.
Now Kris Russell...if he was 6'5, I think he would be a lot more effective but he is a bit different from the matador that Johnny is he is a bull-fighter who refuses to give an inch on the ice, even when he gives up a half a foot and over 30 pounds to his opponent in size. Got to love his attitude.
