The last draft seems to disagree with your premise. No goalies under 6'0" and only 6 were under 6'2". The top two goalies picked were 6'3" and 6"7. The entire second round goalies were those two plus 6'1", 6'3" and 6'6".
The year before the top 7 goalies picked were all 6'3" or over except for one.
