Either way, it doesn't really matter. Size shouldn't play a massive role in prospect evaluation. If you can play, you can play, no matter how big you are.

Except it does matter. You need size to play in the NHL or you need to be an exceptional talent. This is the thing you tend to overlook. Unless you are exceptional in a given facet of the game, size matters. As was pointed out in the comparison between the Avalanche and the Flames, the Avs have size and skill in their top six, while the Flames do not. The Flames size is inflated by having Lucic, Ritchie , and Robinson on the roster, all of which are really inconsequential to the success of the team. The shortest forward on the Avs roster is Alex Newhook at 5'10. The lightest is Logan Connor at 175. Size matters and is another one of the reasons the Avalanche and then the Stars had their way with the Flames.

There are plenty of small players in this league. They win the Stanley Cup every year.

Surrounded by big players, not surrounded by other small players.
