278. Sergei Samsonov

This one might be a little difficult to justify putting him on this list at all as many considered the career of Sergei Samsonov’s career was a disappointment but while he may not have lived up to lofty expectations there is no doubt that the Russian had a good career. 

Samsonov was the Calder Trophy winner in the 1997-98 season as a Boston Bruin and he would represent them in the 2001 All-Star Game.  Samsonov would have a pair of 70 Point seasons for the Bruins and while he was not an Edmonton Oiler for long as a rent-a-player he had a great playoff with them helping them reach the Stanley Cup.  He also received Lady Byng votes four times.  Internationally, he represented Russia in the 2002 Olympics and 2004 World Cup.
