Who are the Brad Marchant / Tom Wilson / Tough Cookie's in the 2025 Draft ? Thanks for your Input

The rules have changed too much to allow old style hockey players. The money is too great, the players respect each other much more than they used to. They realize the financial impact of ending a fellow competitors career. With the number of business decisions you see in the NFL now I'm not so sure I would use that example.

You can have a huge physical impact without hitting people in the head every shift. Kronwall was clean for the vast majority of his career & still sent guys to yesterday in the open ice
 
Poor explanation on my part. I didn't just mean dirty hits or cheap shots however open ice hits can be extremely dangerous to both players involved especially with the speed the game moves today. You are right though. You can also be a physical player just by leaning on people or using your size and strength to take or shield the puck.
