gold star for USAHOF

46. Mike Cammalleri

46. Mike Cammalleri

Showing off solid offensive versatility in his career, Mike Cammalleri’s long career began in Los Angeles, debuting in 2002, but cementing himself as a starting NHL forward in 2005, where he had 55 Points in his first full season in hockey’s premier league.

Cammalleri followed this with one of his best seasons, netting 80 Points with a career-best 46 Assists.  He earned plenty of power play time over this era, and though Los Angeles was not a competitive team, Cammalleri was a significant component of the success that they did have.  

He was traded to Calgary in 2008 and returned as a Free Agent nine years later, albeit for a brief time before he was traded to Edmonton.  Cammalleri would tabulate 212 Points in 298 Games as a King.
