How would team A move guys away from the net? They'll lose almost all their board battles too, while team B still has plenty of skill.

In a 7 game series, the wear and tear on that defence from that forward group would be absurd. Especially that middle 6 the way team B is setup.

It wasn't really size that was the issue, Girard is just a gimmick player who couldn't adapt to tighter more physical games. Marchessault who he's actually an inch taller than abused him as much anybody.

Team B would absolutely abuse Team A. The top pair and top 6 for Team A would be fine but Hughes/Barrie/Girard out there half the game against guys like Stone, Barkov, Scheifele, Matthews, Ovi, Rantanen etc. would be ugly

In order to judge size, we have to control for other attributes.

The "size" team you have put together is just as talented and skates just as well as the smaller team. Why would you not take the size in that case?

Hell, the size team might be even more talented and faster, if anything.
