Default Top 5 Undersized NHLers
Thoughts on my list?

http://blog.playnow.com/nhl-overunde...sized-players/

Any glaring omissions?

Quote:
1. Patrick Kane – Chicago Blackhawks

Kane is one of the most skilled players in hockey, living up to the hype that comes with being a top overall draft pick (and then some). Kane is 5-9 and 185 pounds, but he came into the NHL as a 165-pound teenager. He gave up 50+ pounds against most NHL defensemen, but he still found a way to score 21 goals and finish with 72 points as a 19-year-old in 2007-08. He had 28 points in 22 postseason games during Chicago’s Stanley Cup run in 2009-10, and has embarrassed many NHL goaltenders during his six year NHL career.

Don’t be surprised to see Kane contend for an Art Ross Trophy or two during his NHL career. Like St. Louis, he has elevated his game in the postseason, with 52 points in 51 career playoff games.

Good list. Read is one of the relatively undersized guys who popped into my mind. Gionta's another really small guy who had some solid years, but he's washed up now. Other than that I think you got the notable ones. Personally I'd put St. Louis ahead of Kaner, but that's just me. I think St. Louis has been the role model for smaller (and older) players in this generation.

I think I saw a similar article from Bleacher Report a few years ago so you may want to look it up and compare to see if there's any you missed.

MSL is a beast - I'm actually interviewing his trainer this week. Really looking forward to that.

would'n't call Kane or Enstrom undersized. 5'10 is pretty normal.

I think both are 5'10 on a very tall day when gravity is being nice. But it's all relative, compared to the rest of the players in the league they are undersized

For the NHL, no it isn't. For the general population, yeah.
