241. Jean-Sebastien Giguere

While Jean-Sebastien Giguere only finished as high as fourth place in Vezina Trophy voting (2007-08), he will always be known for his playoff performances with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim/Mighty Ducks.  It was in the 2003 Playoffs that Giguere led the lower-seeded Mighty Ducks to the Stanley Cup Finals, where they faced the juggernaut Detroit Red Wings.  Giguere couldn’t take them to victory, but he had a postseason leading 1.62 Goals Against Average and .945 Save Percentage and was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner.

1. Jarome Iginla

One of the best and most resected power forwards in his era, Jarome Iginla emerged as a physical presence and a very consistent scorer. Currently, Iginla holds the record for the most Goals and Points in Calgary Flames history and has led the NHL in Goals twice and Points once. With three First Team All-Star selections under his belt, and the 1,000 Point plateau hit, Iginla has a resume that should get him inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.  It also needs to be discussed that Iginla won the Gold Medal with Canada at the World Hockey Championship, the World Cup and the Olympics twice.  Pretty impressive wouldn't you say?

233. Daniel Briere

Daniel Briere was another of those undersized, skilled forwards who had to rely on the non-physical aspects of hockey.  Luckily, he was pretty good at it!

Andrei Markov

Playing only for the Montreal Canadians during his NHL career, Andrei Markov has proven to be a dependable defenseman showcasing ample skill on both sides of the ice. Markov was selected to play in the NHL All Star Game twice in his career.
