279. Vinny Prospal
From the Czech Republic it could be argued that Vaclav “Vinny” Prospal did not live up to the potential that many hockey writers thought he would reach. He wasn’t the most consistent player in his professional career, but this was still a player who was intense and found a role as a bit of agitator, that is when he wasn’t playmaking.
In a NHL career spanning 1,108 Games Prospal scored 765 Points, which was certainly a decent number. Internationally he played for the Czech Republic in both the Olympics and the World Cup of Hockey and he was a two-time winner in the World Hockey Championships (2000 & 2005)
