For a spell, an argument could be made that American Goalie, Ryan Miller was the best in between the pipes.  In the 2009/10 season, Miller won the Vezina Trophy and was named the Olympic MVP in the States’ Silver Medal performance in the Vancouver Games.  Miller never had a season at that level again, but was always considered one of the better of the lot, though he may need a few more accolades to really be considered a Hall of Fame contender.

A more than above average hockey player from the Czech Republic, forward, Martin Havlat is a well travelled hockey player who has played professionally for multiple teams most notable for the Ottawa Senators and the Chicago Blackhwaks.  Havlat has been an All Star twice and has scored 30 or more Points on three different occasions.  Havlat also represented the Czech Republic in multiple tournaments, highlighted by a Gold Medal win in the 2000 World Hockey Championship.  Coincidentally, he also was on the Czech World Junior Hockey Championship winning team months before.

Known for his blue line tenacity, Francois Beauchemin made a Second Team All Star in the 2012/13 season and he would finish fourth in Norris Trophy voting that year.  While he never had a regular season like that again he would win a Stanley Cup earlier in his career with the Anaheim Ducks in 2007.

Dany Heatley is known for two things.  The first is the disaster that took place when he was a member of the Atlanta Thrashers, where he was responsible for his teammate’s death from a car crash.  The second is what he accomplished on the ice where he was a former Calder Trophy winner and a star for the Ottawa Senators.   Is he a Hockey Hall of Famer?   He probably is not, but his time with the Sens is better than he gets credit for, and he is a two-time Game-Winning Goals leader.
