On this list, Luke Schenn.

Trouba if we’re talking about open ice hitting though.

 

[Conbon]

Trouba is a headshotting scumbag

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Trouba's probably the one I'd vote for most likely to come up with a highlight reel hit. Unfortunately, he also tends to head hunt and also is most likely to get out of position to try for a big hit.

 

[Xirik]

lol people voting Trouba. This isn't the best "wiffer" poll.

 

[Chips]

Would probably put Wilson on the list, but Trouba is the best out of the ones I’ve watched on that list.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Romanov for me he hit's like a truck and thoroughly enjoys it.

 

[Bouboumaster]

p4p it's probably Romanov

I went with him

 

[canuckking1]

Nikita Zadorov

It's probably either Trouba or Wilson. But they lay crushing hits in completely different ways.

With Wilson...he gets to just play like a human missile. Nobody really complains when he doesn't completely land a hit.

With Trouba...i think you have to respect that he's a defenceman who delivers these blows. It's such a delicate balance where doing that kind of violence at and around your own defensive blueline, in open ice, while against the direction of play, is a hugely risky proposition. The fact he lands as many of those hits as he does, and isn't just a completely irresponsible dingbat defensively, is truly impressive to me.

Since Matt Martin wasn’t an option, I went with the next best option which is Alex Romanov.

Disregard, I just realized now Matt Martin is an option. He will get my vote simply because he knocked Jacob Trouba into 2024.

 

[tfwnogf]

Definitely Trouba.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Gudas because he lands the most hits the last few years.

If you're asking who is the hardest hitter that's a different question.

 

[5cotland]

I dont think there are many that can compete with Trouba with open ice hits.

Over the last year alone he has a good number of clean highlight hockey hits (Kadri, Khaira, Dalle Cole, Domi etc).

I am not denying the fact there has been some questionable hits in there too because I do think 1 or 2 hits have been over the top.

 

[triggrman]

Jeannot hits hard and often.

 

[Favin]

Best hitter or hardest hitter?

The best hitter is probably not included on this list. The hardest hitter is probably Reaves.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Muzz

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Statistically , Matt Martin

 

[Ignite111]

Romanov

 

[nowhereman]

Currently or by reputation? He might not be the wrecking ball of his 20s but OV is one the better hitters of all-time.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Truba and Zadorov are the cream of the crop right now

 

[dirtydanglez]

trouba, ovie

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Statistically , Matt Martin

The Isles scorekeeper credits him with a hit every time his skates touch the ice, come on now.

I go Gudas, but this is really a very subjective matter.

 

[Bileur]

Trouba has the crown

 

[Mrb1p]

Its Romanov and its not close. Keeps it clean, unlike Trouba who never threw a single clean hit in his career.
