One of the better two-way defensemen in Hockey, Ed Jovanovski was not the player who would put up monster point totals, but he would contribute and consistently shut down attackers. He is also one of those great teammates who did all the little things well, automatically making your team better. In all likelihood, when his career is over, Ed Jovanovski will likely not be considered for induction in Toronto. Still, he has a body of work that should bring him closer to consideration than his stats alone suggest.

A good offensive defenseman, Dan Boyle, came into his own late in his career. Boyle became a two-time All-Star (and a second-team postseason All-Star selection) after he helped the Tampa Bay Lightning win a Stanley Cup in 2004. Had Boyle come into his own in his early twenties, he may have had the statistical accumulation to be a serious threat for the Hall of Fame, although anyone with more than 100 Point Shares (he has 107.1) should have his name in the discussion.

Chris Pronger is a former Hart Trophy and Norris Trophy winner and would twice lead the National Hockey League in Plus/Minus while he was a member of the St. Louis Blues. Pronger would become a four time post-season All Star, a Stanley Cup Champion with the Anaheim Ducks and was a Olympic Gold Medalist with Canada.

Honestly, it is difficult to make a Hall of Fame case for Brian Rolston, but we do tip our caps to one of the most versatile players in hockey history. Rolston was comfortable at any forward position and often quarterbacked the power play, a role usually given to defensemen. Rolston does have a Stanley Cup Ring and an All-Star appearance under his belt, so though enshrinement may be out of his grasp, his career has undoubtedly been a rewarding one.
