Which "soft" skill player could you most easily see throwing a HUGE hip check? Choose 5.

Some games turn into a very aggressive and physical endeavor. Which "soft" skill player decides he's had enough and would like to throw some big hits too, rather than just try to dodge the other team's hits? Who has that hip check inside of them waiting for the right moment to come out?

Choose 5 players that you could most see responding with that kind of fierce physicality if push came to shove. Poll selections came from a list of thirty players with around 50 or less (small or big) hits last year.

I saw Panarin, who only had 14 hits last year, threw a solid hipcheck yesterday. So that brings on this poll, but with some different guys of all ages and ability, but similar aversion to hitting. As far as I know - correct anything in the comments.

I'll probably take the guys with the lowest amount of votes to start a new poll with just them.

Pretty interesting to group Roope Hintz with most of those guys. 6'3 212 lbs and not a perimeter player.

Only 32 hits last year... less than 50ish and they get on the list If he gets a lot of votes I won't include him next poll.

Point is a soft player?

I don't really think of Giroux as soft, either.

Word used loosely! More about hits since Point had 16 and Giroux had 35. Stuff like slashing wrists at faceoffs not included Pass 'em a vote!

A lot of players that definitely aren't soft.
