The problem is that you can only have so many of those guys, and the question is: how many?
One? Irrelevant. Two? Still not a concern. Three? That's getting problematic. If 4 or 5 of your top 9 are small, you're in big trouble. You're dead in the water.

Gotta disagree, play style is more important than size and more difficult to quantify. There isn't much difference between a 5-10 185 pound guy and a 6'2 190 pound player on the boards. Now if one of those guys is way faster than the other, who's going to win more puck battles? Probably the guy who gets there first.
