You sincerely believe that?
There is always a bias against small players and for larger players, and that is exclusive of performance. No one is saying that playing well in physical situations is not a factor, or even that size cannot be a disadvantage or advantage. But that bias absolutely exists and is used to overwrite every other fact about performance with hypotheticals.
By denying it, you're not disproving its existence, only proving your own susceptibility to it.

Which of these two players spent half a season on a line with Gaudreau? Hint: it wasn't the NHL calibre forward.
