Who’s The Best Hitter in the League?

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Rempe. Look at how many players have been injured by his legal hits.

@EdJovanovski back me up

 

[BlueSeal]

Truba and Zadorov are the cream of the crop right now

 

[Mike C]

Who do you consider the best hitter in the league?
If others get multiple nominations I’ll add them to poll

Cal Clutterbuck for me

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Mo Seider with the reverse check.

 

[bert]

Clearly Trouba, but Rangers fans hate him. Strange, id love to have him on the Sens.

Muzz

I guess Scott Stevens, Nick Kronwall etc are all options as well? Or you just cant not make it about the leafs?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Trouba AINEC.

His hit against Kadri last year was the sexiest hit I’ve ever seen.


Clean, Kadri was the puck carrier, Kadri wasn’t blindsided or engaged with another player , it was a straight up 1 v 1 and Trouba obliterated him in open ice , textbook.

Mo Seider with the reverse check.

Reverse checks are cheating, although in this case at least the Flyer was coming in for a hit

IDK, can you not quote a post that is 1.5 years old when a player was still on the active roster just months before to try and take a shot but fail?

Tony DeAngelo

Edit: nm, misread question

Good at hitting Robidas Island.

I’m genuinely curious why you’d “love to have” Trouba.

 

[Snap]

Jeremy Lauzon not being on the poll is concerning.

Trouba by far has the most devastating hit resume the last few years though.

 

[Shane Diesel]

Aaron Judge

He's literally leading the poll right now. You're in the thread quoting the post.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

huh? I was asking why you would love him on your team, not asking who is leading the poll lol.

 

[Hanji]

Trouba, easily.

 

[bert]

You don't see the correlation? Is this satire? One of a few obvious reasons is he is the best body checker in the NHL........... RHD also the most valuable position in the NHL at the moment. His leadership would also go a long way for a young team. His size, physicality and ability to match up against elite offensive talent. Etc etc

 

[amnesiac]

you did even list the guy who broke the record for most hits in a season last year

No it's not satire, I asked why you'd want him and you answered by saying he's leading the poll lol.

Ability to match up against elite offensive talent? Do you watch him play much? He's been brutally bad defensively for quite some time now. He hits hard but he's a blatant headhunter. When a large portion of the people who actually watch a guy play don't want him, it's pretty telling.

Sorry if my question upset you somehow. He's just not the guy a ton of people are lining up to get on their favorite team.

 

[Kegs]

Holy run away victory.

Fun fact: the comments section on my Facebook indicate, rangers fans want to trade him.

 

[Toby91ca]

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.

This is exactly what I'm thinking. Guys may be thinking of a guy they see throw a few highlight real type hits, but generally speaking, I don't think that type of a guy is a really good hitter. A really good hitter is someone that is really effective/efficient with his hits, doesn't go out of position, etc.

I read the title very wrong LMAOOOO. I was like best WHAT in the NHL?
