17. Joe Nieuwendyk

Prior to arriving in Dallas, Joe Nieuwendyk was already a proven winner with the Calgary Flames.  In Calgary, he was a Calder Trophy Winner, a King Clancy Winner, a two-time 50 Goal scorer, and a Stanley Cup Champion.  He would repeat the latter with Dallas.

Nieuwendyk wasn’t the same scorer that he was before, but he was still a leader and brought a winning pedigree to the Stars.  His best performance came in the 1999 Stanley Cup win, where he won the Conn Smythe and scored 21 Points.  He would later win a Stanley Cup with the New Jersey Devils and be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2011.
