271. Sylvain Cote
Sylvain Cote may not seem like he belongs on this list at all, even if we were just talking about a “Hall of Very Good”. However, this was a player who competed in 1,171 Games in the National Hockey League and was a steadying defensive presence for years in both Hartford and Washington. In the latter team, Cote would put together back-to-back 50 Point Seasons, and he was named to play for Team Canada in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey. Any player who makes the Canadian team in a TRUE World Championship has to be pretty damn good!
