A veteran of 1,108 Games in the National Hockey League, Adrian Aucoin was an underrated player who may have been labeled as such because he was a slow starter.  A middle round draft pick, Aucoin would have six 30 Point Seasons (one with Vancouver, three with the Islanders, and two with Calgary) with 399 overall, a decent number for a Defenseman.  He was named an All-Star in 2004 and while he did not have any signature moments in hockey, he was very good for a long time.  Not many players can say that.
