Size on your lower lines certainly does matter.

Based on what I am seeing there were two players on the St Louis Blues's third line who were both only 6'0" and well under 200 lbs: Robert Thomas (6'0", 188 lbs) and Ian Barbashev (6'0", 187 lbs). The point stands that the Blues had players playing in the bottom six who would not be charactised as "big grinders," and I would posit that size does not matter a lot.
