261.  Keith Primeau
A fifteen-year veteran of the National Hockey League, Keith Primeau probably would have had a few more had it not been for post concussion syndrome.  Primeau was known to be a player who was good at almost every aspect of his game (not necessarily great, just very good) and he was a two time NHL All Star who would have four 60 Point Seasons.  Primeau would also represent Canada in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey and 1998 Olympics.
