You're also ignoring the difference 22 years can make in a franchise' developmental system.
This is more ridiculous than comparing Sens prospect Colin White to Bill Arnold.
That kind of classification ignores that 6'6" or taller people represent a vast minority, and hockey is not an easily accessible sport as it is. The logic is as extreme as saying "lets compile a list of forwards with genetic roots in Costa RIca who have panned out to be anything decent in the NHL. Hmmm, I can't find anything..."

I don't know how exactly to search for this, but I can't think of a single 6'6" or taller forward that has scored more than 60 points in the NHL.
Edit: Antropov. Don't know if there are others.
As far as I know he's the only one that's broken even 50 points.
