Some prospects, which caught my eye because IMHO they would nicely fit in FLA system and style of play.
From one point of view embodiment of their style is Tkachuk - old-school gritty power-forward, violently physical, pest or rat, shooter or playmaker, smart and hard-working (everybody here and in Sunrise to different extent). They could sure use another one of that kind.
Some of these are long-shots in thinking their current team would let them go even in exchange for McDavid or MacKinnon, while some others are long-shots even to ever making it in the NHL...
Players with * are 24 years old, the rest are younger.
Josh Davies - He tries to send players into the fourth row of the stands on the forecheck and forces them into a line change on the backcheck. In the defensive end, he sprints directly to the point, leading with his stick and following with his shoulder. Simply put, he’s a menace. He’s a diverse shooter with an arsenal that includes a booming one-timer, a quick in-stride wrister, and a powerful angle-changing wrister off his outside leg. With quick hands and a high pace during attacks, he beats overcommitted defenders to gain the inside lane. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
Koehn Ziemmer - Ziemmer zips shots around defenders, pump-faking and toe-dragging to create that little extra space for the release. With perfect timing, he spins off checks and gets open for deflections, rebounds, and flashy in-tight moves. Watching Ziemmer is also an IV drip of (often unpenalized) violence. He throws reverse hits with the puck and crushing hits along the boards without it. Crosschecks, nudges, and non-stop always being in the way are the subtler ways he ensures opponents know he's on the ice. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
Zachary L'Heureux - So much of L’Heureux’s game is defined by his physicality. He’s an enthusiastic hitter, one who’s put more than his fair share of poor opponents into the boards or onto their asses. He’ll get under his opponent’s skin after the whistles. He’ll fight. He’ll mix it up. His problem-solving ability through secondary and tertiary defensive variables lets him make plays where others would struggle to retain possession. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
Coulson Pitre - Looking for a wrecking ball? Pitre hits everything, fights for body positioning with every limb, and never gives up on a play. How about a finisher? He's always in the right place at the right time, able to capitalize with a wrister that blends the pass reception, toe drag around the defender, and release in one smooth motion. What about a down low playmaker? That's Pitre, who uses those physical skills to possession before sliding a backhand pass to the slot. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
Ridly Greig - Outfitted with a seemingly bottomless gas tank, Greig's energy impacts all three zones. If there's a scrum, he's involved: if there isn't, he creates one. Although average in stature, few players in the draft bring a more refined physical game and all-out destruction. He's an intelligent defensive player, he attacks with pace offensively, and has a deft passing ability. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
Ivan Miroshnichenko - Opponents shouldn't let him catch up on the boards as they will get rammed and they will get stripped of the puck. Miroshnichenko is a bully on the ice, with some surprising soft skills in his handling and shooting. He battles and then sneaks away from the play to find scoring space. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
Vasili Podkolzin - A skilled winger who plays with an edge. Podkolzin combines his fine hockey sense, puck handling and shooting with an aggressive, in-your-face, type of game. He competes hard, is very difficult to play against and has the tools to be a high scoring player. -EliteProspects 2019
Nick Robertson - He’s extremely hard on the forecheck, relentless in puck pursuit, and a big-time trash talker... -EPrinkside.com 2019
Niko Huuhtanen - Tampa may have pulled the wool over every organization’s eyes by selecting Huuhtanen with the last draft pick of the entire 2021 draft. Huuhtanen has a ton of skill and a ton of grit to his game. He has top-six winger potential: he can grind teams down by finishing his checks and relentlessly forechecking defenders in their own zone to win back possession. ... -dobberprospects.com, Caleb Kerney
Landon Slaggert - A wrecking ball type of winger, Slaggert loves to get involved physically and is constantly hunting the puck. -Dave Hall, dobberprospects.com
Elliot Desnoyers - He's so much better off of the puck than he is on it. If you want a player who will selflessly run head-first through a brick wall if that's what's necessary for his linemates to succeed, then look no further than Desnoyers. He plays an honest brand of hockey in the defensive zone and never flees a moment sooner than his team has secured the puck. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
Kalan Lind - Fearlessness and unending physicality tie Lind's many skills together. He takes every opportunity to make contact, big or small, and wins body positioning in every situation. Beyond the huge hits and incredible backchecks, there's a subtle brilliance to Lind's game. He ties up opponents around his own net, then sets picks to create a seamless breakout. As he skates up the ice, he starts passing plays and takes defenders' sticks along the way, creating space for his teammates. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
Samuel Helenius - Being the son of former goon Sami Helenius, he shares some of the qualities with his father relating to the physical side of the game. Helenius throws his body around a lot and he does that well, which makes him a menacing force on the forecheck. Once the play gets along the boards in either zone, Helenius is a tough customer and hard to escape due to size and massive wingspan. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
Sam Harris - Harris looks to punish opponents with and without the puck. Without it, he throws crushing hits, subtle nudges, and always gets in the way. With it, he does those same things while manipulating opponents to create lanes to the net. He prefers to slow down, drawing defenders towards him, then passing to the open teammate in the slot. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
Tyler Boucher - There’s no player more physical in the draft class. Sometimes, it’s a small nudge, an extra cross-check, or a smart play to cut off the hands. There’s also plenty of bone-crushing hits along the boards. His physical game is insane. Perfectly balancing scoring and supporting positioning, he’s always a passing option. He’s also a crafty shooter, shooting under defenders’ sticks or changing the angle. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
Eetu Liukas - He plays a physical north-south game, and takes to his role with a great deal of enthusiasm. He’s never seen an opportunity to play the body that was too good to pass up. He’s got a pretty heavy shot, too; his one-timer, in particular, does serious damage. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
Ben MacDonald - Defence and physicality define MacDonald’s game. He’s a pressure machine, overwhelming puck carriers and eliminating off-puck threats. After closing space, he knocks the puck and then slams players into the boards. Much of MacDonald’s offence comes from his physical game, too. He leans on defenders, waits for their response, then spins back in the opposite direction. When he’s not winning battles along the boards, he planted in front of the net for rebounds and deflections. He’s also a powerful shooter and an occasionally deceptive playmaker. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
Jake Neighbours - His physicality is one of the most developed parts of his game. Despite his smaller 5-foot-11 frame, he has a bullish presence on the ice, throwing big hits and often choosing to go through opponents instead of around them. His strength makes him a puck-possession master, often taking two or three guys to knock him off the puck, and making him especially dangerous right in front of the net. He also is not afraid to get into the corners and battle for the puck, which he wins more often than not. -Dayton Reimer, thehockeywriters.com
Chase Stillman - Stillman plays a power forward style. He loves to drive the net, both with and without the puck. Stillman can finish when he gets there with the soft hands to make a move and get the puck over the goalie as well the hand-eye coordination for deflections and pounce on rebounds. He gets in on the forecheck quickly, pressuring defenders into mistakes and gaining control of the puck. Stillman is a real pest. He creates havoc in front of the net as well as controlling the puck well in the cycle game. -Ben Kerr, Last Word on Hockey
Jakub Stancl - At 6-foot-3 and already over 200 pounds, Stancl can bulldoze his way through defenders to pick up loose pucks and create havoc on the forecheck. Stancl also has a heavy shot and can occasionally beat goalies from the half-wall with a big one-timer. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
Brennan Othmann - At all levels, Othmann has made himself very difficult to play against. He’s always active on the attack, can throw rattling hits, and is a solid point producer. ... -Steven Ellis, dailyfaceoff.com
Adam Sýkora - Few players match Sýkora’s intensity on the ice. He’s all-in, every shift. He bounces from opponent to opponent, barely giving them any time to handle the puck, blocks shots like he’s immune to pain, and attacks loose pucks like the fate of the world depends on his ability to catch them. On the backcheck, he pursues escaping opponents and completely neutralizes them. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
Liam Arnsby - Defence and physical play drive Arnsby’s value. He’s very astute defensively, scanning for threats and eliminating them the play. He overwhelms with back pressure and non-stop support. Physical, often extremely so, and constantly looks to engage. With the puck, Arnsby shows a bit of skill as both a shooter and passer, highlighted by a projectable outside leg wrister and the odd slick backhand pass. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
Xavier Simoneau - Simoneau was a major highlight for the Canadiens at this years’ prospect tournament, proving that despite his stature he has a future in the NHL. His low centre of gravity makes him difficult to play against, and his gritty nature sets him apart. The Laval Rocket definitely seem to be developing several players in a “Brendan Gallagher” mould. -Aaron Itovitch, dobberprospects.com
Riley Heidt - Nasty physically, despite his 5-foot-11 frame, Heidt has the handling, shooting, and vision to inflict major damage on opponents. He takes the extra stride to play the body, never passes up an opportunity to sneak in a shot behind the play, and is an enthusiastic combatant in scrums. On retrievals, Heidt establishes inside positioning early, drives through opponents’ hands, and separates them from the puck. And the use of contact to create space in the small area game allows him to spin off of defensive pressure and attack the inside. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
Adam Raska - ...plays harder than any other prospect we’ve seen in Europe, wins pucks out of battles and draws penalties... -Draftin Europe 2018
Carter Mazur - Mazur is a very physical player, willing to get into skirmishes along the boards or to fight for positioning in front of the net. When he has the puck in the offensive zone, he’s not afraid to charge into the dangerous areas, even if it means he could get clocked by an opposing defender. For someone who is only 6-feet tall, Mazur is surprisingly hard to knock off of pucks and he has shown a strength and determination while fighting through contact that bodes well for his NHL projection. -Logan Horn, thehockeywriters.com
Redmond "Red" Savage - Hard-nosed forward who loves the physical aspect of the game. -dobberprospects.com, Victor Nuno
Angus MacDonell - MacDonell's got that dog in him. He never quits on a play, throws himself into opponents, and backs down from no one. That mentality shines brightest on the forecheck, where he wins pucks then instantly attacks the middle. If he can't get to the net himself, he passes off, then battles around the net for positioning. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
Samuel Savoie - Rare is the shift where Savoie doesn’t plaster an opponent to the boards. Sometimes, it serves a tangible purpose, like stealing possession of the puck. Other times, he’s just sending a message: "Move the puck quickly or meet your doom." Savoie drives the net with matching enthusiasm, going all-in for every loose puck so that he can slem them past the goaltender. He’s fierce on retrievals, capable of winning possession by cutting inside the space of defenders. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
JJ Peterka - His unrelenting motor is a force multiplier in every zone. He's hard on every puck. He's an eager, willing combatant in board battles. He's violent, disruptive -- a real pain in the ass. He'll make second and third efforts where other players generally relent. He's rarely, if ever stationary, constantly scanning the ice when the puck isn't on his stick. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
Christopher Pelosi - Pelosi is a nightmare around the net, combining shooting skill, hand-eye coordination, and overwhelming physicality. He wins body positioning to free his stick for chances as defenders desperately reach in. Even when there's a defender in his face or he's off-balance, he still gets the shot off. And somehow, he's always the first guy to the loose puck or to apply pressure on the backcheck. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
Ilya Fedotov - Fedotov wants the puck. His stick bangs the ice to demand his teammate’s attention and his feet automatically pursue the puck hard when it escapes his team’s clutches. He plays with an impressive physicality. He is not content just going shoulder to shoulder to shove opponents away from the puck; he outright rams them, leaving them flat on the ice wondering what kind of train hit them. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
Alex Laferriere - ... Not afraid to get physical, Laferriere can often be seen in the corners battling for the puck and grinding away down low. He battles for position in front of the net and is not afraid of bigger defenders. He sticks up for his teammates and can often be found ensuing opponents after the whistle has gone. -thehockeywriters.com, Mathieu Sheridan
* Martin Pospisil - ... What Pospíšil lacks in point production and ice time, he makes up for in physicality, desire, and a coveted ability to get under the opposition’s skin. He must have picked up some pointers from Nazem Kadri in the five-plus months they’ve worked together. -thehockeywriters.com, Gary Pearson
* Jack McBain - He’s a really good skater, he can make plays, he’s tough, he’s mean. But what he does every day, it’s his urgency and his intensity. There’s no pause in his game. There’s no halfway. It’s always balls-out. -André Tourigny, Coyotes head-coach
Neighbours' skating has improved greatly. He can even occasionally blow past a Dman wide now. It's bad news for the league moving forward. However, you would have a very tough time getting him out of STL. They love him. Everybody does. He's just a lovable guy.
Ridly Greig is 21 years old and was selected 28th OA. He ranks higher in every 2020 re-draft you can find online.
Suggesting OTT would even consider moving him for a 2026 2nd rounder shows an incredible lack of knowledge.
