gold star for USAHOF
 

263. Keith Yandle

From Boston, Keith Yandle began his NHL career with the Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes in 2006, the team he easily had his best seasons.  

Yandle was a Coyote for eight years, peaking with a 59 Point year in 2010-11, where he was fifth in Norris voting, his highest finish.  The Defenseman never finished higher than that, but he was a three-time All-Star (two with Phoenix and one with Florida) who had nine years of at least 40 Points, and likely would have ten had it not been for the lockout of 2012-13.  

Traded to the New York Rangers during the 2014-15 campaign, he signed with Florida in 2016, producing his highest offensive year with 62 Points in 2018-19.  In his final season, which was with Philadelphia, Yandle became the NHL ironman, playing in 989 consecutive Games, breaking Doug Jarvis’ record of 964, though a year later, Phil Kessel took over as the record-holder.

Yandle had 619 Points over 1,109 Games, a better career than most people may realize.

294. Radim Vrbata

A productive Right Winger over his NHL career, Radim Vrbata has had three seasons where he eclipsed the 60 Point mark.  An All-Star in 2015, Vrbata also is a former leader in Power Play Goals (2011-12) and he would score 623 Points in the National Hockey League.

272. Ilya Bryzgalov

Ilya Bryzgalov may never have been an All Star but there were a couple of seasons where the Russian was considered among the best netminders in the National Hockey League.

66. Shane Doan

A long time player for the Phoenix Coyotes, Shane Doan starred in the desert for what seemed like an eternity. He is a good scorer, but what he is mostly known for in Phoenix is his long term leadership for the franchise. Doan was never in the top ten in scoring, but he was selected anyway to multiple National teams for Canada and scored the game-winning goal against Finland to win the 2004 World Cup. Doan has long been considered a player you want in your dressing room, though this might not necessarily translate into a Hall of Fame career though does make him the best Arizona Coyote ever.

27. Nikolai Khabibulin

While Nikolai Khabibulin actually has a losing won/loss record in the NHL, nobody can say that he did not have a very good career in the National Hockey League.  The “Bulin Wall” may never have been considered the top goaltender in the league (or maybe even in the top three), but he was always better than most of his peers and did backstop the Lightning to a Stanley Cup, becoming the first Russian to do so. Throw in the fact that he also had an excellent performance leading the Russians to the Olympic Gold Medal; you have the makings of a fringe candidate for the Hall of Fame.

11. Keith Tkachuk

In the mold of a player he grew up watching (Cam Neely), the Massachusetts born Keith Tkachuk become the American power forward of his generation.

61. Teppo Numminen

Teppo Numminen did not get a lot of press over his NHL career as he spent the majority of his time with the Winnipeg Jets, who would later become the Phoenix Coyotes.  Having said that, Numminen is one of the few players to have played twenty seasons in the National Hockey League and at the time of his retirement his 1,327 was the most played (since broken) by a European player, though sadly for Numminen he still holds the record for the most games played without wining a Stanley Cup.
