Obviously it would be nice to have all of the above. But when the PP is faltering and the team isn't scoring, I think skill has to be the priority.
I think people get hung up too much on size.

Tampa is filled with small players and they just won the Cup along with one the greatest regular seasons in the NHL history. Their 2 best forwards are like 5’9” and 5’11”. If this team wants to be built small, then they have to be very skilled then, which they are not. A skilled team would be able to score more then 1 goal per game against the worst defensive team in the division.
