Nucks Misconduct Will Smaller Pads Result in More Leakages for Luongo?

The NHL 2009-10 rulebook reads that there is a 38-inch height restriction on all goalie pads. However, the form-fitting direction the NHL is moving to next season means each goalie will have his own pad dimensions, i.e., smaller goalies will have smaller pads.

Didn't know where to post this as there was no daily thread today. The article mentions that smaller goalies will be more affected by this. I know Luongo is a fairly big guy, but is he big compared to other goalies in the league (I don't really know myself)? How do you think Luongo will adapt to these rule changes compared to other goalies?
