Some on here talking about both speed, and skating ability. Remember, it is a short-burst game. Smaller players are obviously going to going to look, and may actually be faster in shorter-bursts. At full stride, there may be no difference. For example, players like Mikko and Heatley could be at least 30 lbs heavier than say a Parise or a Cullen.
Best skaters on the team are likely defenseman, particularly Suter and Brodin. Falk and Stoner much bigger, but look clumsier. On the front-end, look at some of those who play the PK. At the same time, they may be on the PK because of their stickwork, more than skating.
