Theo Fleury has my vote.

Name some players who were known as good hitters, despite being of average size.

---

Vladimir Konstantinov (5'11, 185 lbs) - Arguably the most feared defensive player in the league (along with Scott Stevens)

Peter Forsberg (6', 190 lbs) - One of the few players I've seen who could hit while he had the puck.

Doug Gilmour (5'11, 172 lbs) - Not sure about this one, but I've seen highlights were "Killer" knocked down players like Steve Smith and Marty McSorley (about 230 lbs).

Took a hit to make a play as well (or perhaps as "willingly") as anyone but he was definitely more than 190 lbs most of his NHL career IIRC.

 

[VanIslander]

Aurel Joliat knocked Eddie Shore out with a big hit

Michael Peca in his early years of course!

 

[Koivu84*]

Darcy Tucker

Pound for pound I'd have to go with Stan Jonathan.
