Size on your lower lines certainly does matter.
It really doesn't.

When Pittsburgh won the Cup in 15-16, they were the 5th lightest team and 7th smallest team in the NHL. When they won the Cup in 16-17, they were the 4th lightest team and 11th smallest team.

When Chicago won the Cup in 14-15, they were the 2nd lightest team and 10th smallest team in the NHL.

Just like you'll find some teams that have won being big and heavy, you'll find teams that have won being small and light.

Size and weight does not matter. Being the best team you can possibly be does.
