Yeah, they have been saying Brock Nelson is the only forward among the top 15 scorers who is 6'2 or over. He's also the only one who is more than 200 lbs.
This doesn't necessarily mean small players are good. There's a lot of average size NHL forwards here (most of them). Rather, it seems large forwards might be more ineffective than people think.
There just aren't a ton of good 6'3+ forwards in the modern NHL.
