Daniel Briere was another of those undersized, skilled forwards who had to rely on the non-physical aspects of hockey. Luckily, he was pretty good at it!

Briere was a two-time All-Star who peaked at 95 Points in the 2006-07 season (his last with the Buffalo Sabres). Briere would also have 60 Point seasons with the Phoenix Coyotes and the Philadelphia Flyers, and in the three times he represented Canada in IIHF competition, he was a Gold Medalist at the World Championships twice and once at the World Juniors.
