Nearly a Point per Game player over his NHL career (751 Points in 760 Games), Craig Janney might very well claim one of the best players never to make an All-Star Game.  Janney was a brilliant playmaker who at times was one with the puck, and he would finish in the top ten in Assists four times, with a career high of 82 in the 1992-93 season.  Janney, who was with the St. Louis Blues at the time, would tally 106 Points that year. 

Brian Gionta was a good two-way player over his sixteen seasons in the National Hockey League, and everywhere he went, he was lauded for his leadership.  This includes his pre-NHL days where he was the captain of his Boston College team that would win the NCAA Championship.

Was Kevin Stevens a superstar forward in the shadow of Mario Lemieux, or was he only a superstar because of Lemieux? Many asked that question as Kevin Stevens topped over 100 points twice and was among the league leaders. The answer may have been somewhere in between. Stevens may not have reached those plateaus without Mario, but he was far from a pylon either. By 1995, injuries had really slowed him down, and he went from superstar to salary liability seemingly overnight. His good years were very good, but there likely weren't enough of them to grant him entry.
