This is part of the problem with people's obsession with little skilled players thinking that every one of them is going to be another Martin St Louis. Their skill may not be as great as some people would like to think & their lack of size reduces their chances to play in the NHL. They could be one hit away from having their careers ended because they aren't big enough to take the impact. It works both ways my friend.

No one said this. Just because you have an outspoken obsession of players that are likely to amount to nothing doesn't mean everyone else has to have an obsession on any side of the fence.
Good teams have good playeys, big and small.
