I've always had this thinking of players now needing to lean out and drop pounds in the new NHL. I even remember asking Gregor about this on ON in the comments section of an article about nutrition many years back and him answering about a balance of gaining weight and keeping your same quickness which I think is very tough to do. I felt that the Oilers stars like Hall and Eberle were less effective at their game as the seasons went on because they were putting on too much mass.
You watch Hall and Eberle's first NHL game and how quick and shifty they were, Eberle looks like a twig but there's no way he would pull off a goal like that a couple seasons later when he was a lot bulkier.
I see how players like Gaudreau didn't bulk up at all, why was there any reason to do so? The game is about speed and if you're easier to knock off your feet that's probably a better chance at a penalty. His teammate Sam Bennett's game from junior is totally ruined, he couldn't do a single chin up at the Draft Combine and since then he's put on a lot of muscle. Now he's not quick, he's a shade of his former self. Look at his highlights from Kingston he was a much quicker player.
This season I think there are so many players that just dropped weight instead of muscling up, working on their speed. Matthews looks a lot leaner, obviously Neal dropped a good 20 lbs. I think in the next few seasons we see more NHL'ers come into camp lighter rather than adding muscle.

Interesting theory. I’d guess the truth is somewhere in the middle. Training properly to increase strength without sacrificing mobility. I know Luongo and Tom Brady both extended their careers because they would stretch for hours prior to a game. Probably some benefits for people in their prime years as well.
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.
