Fat guys have more power, but the skinny guys are way better at moving the puck and distributing it. They force double-teams just because they get in high scoring areas, and then dish it off for for a huge one-timer that goalies seem to have trouble stopping.

1 goalie
1 skinny guy
3 fat guys

They are such strong drivers of possession, and win championships along the way.

Medium guys don't maintain a high enough CORSI, and even their FENWICK is really bad. They also register fairly low on the GRIT index. Not many of them make it onto championship squads, even though they appear to possess everything you need in a hockey player. That is why Jarome Iginla was just so good - not that big, not fast and skinny, but a really solid medium guy.
