Jason Arnott played 1,244 Games with 938 Points and had over 100 Point Shares, all of which are impressive, but it might make him the ultimate “compiler” as he was never considered an elite player and was an All-Star only twice.  Beyond being the runner-up for the Calder in 1994, he never received any consideration for an award, as the highest he finished was 29th in the Selke in 2004.
Still, this is not an indictment of his career, more of a statement that this was a nice player to have, and you could say that throughout his eighteen-year career, which made him valuable.  Arnott would play for Edmonton, New Jersey (where he helped them win the Stanley Cup in 2000), Dallas, Nashville, Washington, and St. Louis.
