What do you mean guys like Boyd and Dawes? Fringe NHL players? Because you can't mean small players. Boyd was 6'0''.
Ironically, he was one of the bigger forwards on his last NHL team. Towering over the likes of Gomez, Plekanec, Cammelleri, Gionta, Desharnais and Dawes...
When Dawes played for the Flames, the two teams that met in the Stanley Cup, Hawks and Flyers, had many players in the middle six who were not 6'00+ or 200 pounds+.
