Hamilton has 5 inches and 20 lb's on Keith. He's also using his size this year so I consider him pretty tough.
Why is Monahan at the bottom of the list? You have him below Gaudreau... He's great at pushing players off the puck.
Brodie isn't a soft player. He doesn't play overly physical because he's too busy taking the puck away.
Kane should be with Gaudreau at the bottom of the list.
Hossa isn't a top-6 player which further shows that you don't have a clue what your talking about. But I guess putting a 5'10 170lb Panarin on the list doesn't fit your narrative...

Wow ... Do you watch Hockey at all.....
Have you seen Seabrook and Toews battle?
Gio was really great against Brown....one of the best games ever by a Flame. It was shocking and unexpected and showed that Gio belonged in the NHL....
Now try to find anything more recent than 4-5 years ago that shows Gio physically competing let alone dominating. Likely having to do him spending months rehabing from injuries. His buddy Glencross played consistently harder and is done at the age where Gio starts cashing in his really big cheques.
Okay Monahan sometimes will use his size to push someone off the puck... Give me one example of him knocking someone over or driving a d-man into the goalie, or powering to the net making a D-man drive him to the goalie. The stuff Toews does on a regular basis.
Hamilton using his size?? If you look at the Flames goals against high lights try to locate Hamilton clearing the crease. He is usually doing the Bouwmester swoop so he can be closer to the bench when they change lines for the faceoff at centre ice.
Totally agree that Kane is equivalent to Gaudreau and am comfortable with that.
