Who hits harder: Edler or Gudbranson? My vote goes to Edler. When he hits it looks like he hits through guys whereas ive seen Gudbranson many times bounce off his own hits
Edler. He's a heavier player, on top of seeming to know how to hit as well better than Guddy. There's something to be said for hitting technique. It's why guys like Cooke and Kronwall could hit so hard. Gudbranson is a big guy who's a decent fighter and decent hitter, but he's no Byfuglien.
I'd say Edler as well, however Eddies hits are always akward, and there are times he takes the worst of it and takes himself out entirely. Its like he glides in, tenses the body up and hopes for the best.
