I'd shove Zach Aston-Reese's name in their (5.33 per game) as well.
Hey everyone,
Every year it is my M.O. to roster a player who I believe will accumulate the most hits in the NHL.
I began the year drafting Lawson Crouse, but dropped him for William Carrier (whom I had last year and was great when he was healthy).
Right now, I am debating between the two VGK bangers, Carrier (5.13 Hits per game last year) and Reaves (3.81 h/gm), as well as speculating on Brandon Tanev (3.48 h/gm). Carrier provides the most offensive upside out of the three, but Reaves has been a hit machine so far this year, albeit a small sample size. Is there another guy I am missing? I am particularly looking at forwards, not defensemen, by the way.
What are your thoughts on who the most prolific hitter in the NHL is?

How would you rank him against the three I mentioned? Offensive upside not necessarily a huge factor in my decision.

Considering hits-only. Probably,
Reaves
ZAR
Carrier
Tanev
I'd rank Aston-Reese and Carrier both over Reaves were it not for their injury history. Reaves has been consistent and stayed healthy for a few seasons now.
Sammy Blais is averaging 5 hits a game and is looking pretty good on the 2nd line

Adam Lowry comes to mind. He can provide 220+ hits, 100+ SOG and chip in 20-30 pts. Even puts up 50+ blocks which is decent for a forward.
Not sure he's worthy of a roster spot outside of deeper leagues though.
Blais!
If Blais can stay healthy he probably offers the best combo of hits and offensive upside
