I think everyone except Coronato, and Jack Beck over the last 3 drafts, were between 6'-6'4". It seems about average for NHLers.

I think they would be considered taller than most for forwards. The average height of an NHL forward in 2023 is just over 6 feet (6 feet plus 0.54 inches). In the 2023 draft, the flames took three forwards in the draft and their heights were 6’4”, 6’3” and 6’2”. In 2022, they took three forwards in the draft and their heights were 6’2”, 6’3” and 6’5”. And that was their heights when drafted… it’s possible they are taller than that now. But even if they have not grown much since then, that is still quite a few larger forwards.
