I'm like 90% sure you deliberately choose to have the worst takes about everything on this site as a bit, but on the 10% chance I'm wrong, it's really remarkable that you've never stumbled into a good take even by accident.
There's more to being a good fighter than just size. Look at the best fighters in NHL history, it's not just a list of big hulking monsters. Tiger Williams was 5'11, Rob Ray was 6'0, McSorley was 6'1 190, Dale Hunter was 5'10, Ken Deneyko was 6 flat, Domi was 5'10. Knowing how to fight matters more than just being big. Dave Dziurzynski was like 6'3 and like 230 lbs or something, and he was one of the worst fighters I've ever seen.
Don't get me wrong, Zac Rinaldo is a **** hockey player, and has no business being in the NHL, but he IS an enforcer. His sole job his entire career has been to come in, play like 8min a night, throw some big hits and to punch people. Now I don't think he was ever a notably good one, but if you don't think he qualifies, you don't know what the term Enforcer has meant in the NHL for the last decade or so.
When people who have horrible takes want to talk about other peoples takes.
Your "enforcer" has had 3 so called fights in the last 3 years.
Lets see, in 2019 he had this "massive" brawl with Clifford.

clearly worth one of those "game misconducts"
Then there is 2020, where he god rag dolled by Deslauriers in his only fight of the year. A fight he clearly had no business taking, Hell the guy even let up on him because he knew he was 7 inches taller and like 40+ pounds heavier. But you know "enforcers"

The last one in 2021against Watson, who honestly looked like he didn't even want to drop gloves against the much smaller player. Not that I blame Watson, he's taken so much heat, he probably didn't want to hear it going after someone 1/2 his size.

But yet here is your incredibly bad take about what an "enforcer" is.
The winter Olympics is soon. You'll be able to enjoy all the figure skating you want.
Rinaldo is not an enforcer. Period.
He is a tough little player who hits. That's part of hockey. But trying to sit here and say he's an enforcer is like trying to say Brandon Tanev is an enforcer. He's not. Everyone knows he's not.
He might get into an occasional scrap now and then due to his physical style of play. But that doesn't make him an enforcer. Everyone in the hockey world knows this. He's not the guy you are rolling out there to go fight after someone does something dirty against your team. He's too damn small.
But sure thing, the guy who got into 3 "fights" in the last 3 years is an "enforcer". Hot take there on your part.
