34. Samuel Girard

Samuel Girard only made it five games with the Nashville Predators before he was packaged off to the Colorado Avalanche early in the 2017/18 Season. 

Still with the Avs, Girard might be undersized, but he can quarterback a power play, rarely makes mistakes, and played a solid role in Colorado’s 2022 Stanley Cup win. 

Girard is still with Colorado, and while he will not be a top ten player on this team, his rank will grow with expanded tenure.
