171. Todd Bertuzzi

Right when Todd Bertuzzi was hitting his stride in the National Hockey League, he derailed his career. His attack on Steve Moore from behind (which ended his career) caused Bertuzzi to be suspended for over a year. When he returned, he was not nearly the productive player he was, as the burly forward was a two-time All-Star and a power play stud prior to the suspension. Stat-wise, Todd Bertuzzi finished his career with very good numbers, but it could have been so much more.
