49. Neal Broten

Arguably one of the best players to come out of the hockey-rich state of Minnesota, Neal Broten did not just come from the Gopher State; he played virtually his entire career there. Broten played his collegiate hockey for the University of Minnesota and played the bulk of his career for the Minnesota North Stars. The American Center was part of the 1980 Miracle on Ice team, and although he never did get a Stanley Cup Ring in Minnesota, he did gain that accolade with the Devils in 1995. Although Broten failed to reach 1,000 career points, he did record more than 60 assists four times in a season. With his Collegiate and International play, he must be considered a wildcard possibility to enter the Hall.
