No not anymore.

Out this year: Byron, Raymond, Hudler, Granlund, Russell, Wideman (kinda) Jones. There's a lot of softness there.

I think the change in overall style to a more physical, hard-nosed game happened right around the time of the Wideman suspension, when Russell also was hurt and then Hudler traded. This is about the time they added Hathaway, Nakladal and Wotherspoon.

There are physical forwards all throughout the lineup now and the depth d-man are much better crease-clearers than Wideman or Russell were.
