28. Brett Hull

Is this rank too high or too low?

If you think it is too high, it may be because you are pointing out that Brett Hull was only with the Dallas Stars for three seasons, a relatively short period compared to many on this list.  While he was an All-Star once in Dallas and was still certainly productive, he was not putting up the exact explosive numbers he did in St. Louis, where he led the NHL in Goals, three of which were 70-plus.  His highest goal-scoring season in Dallas was 32.

If you think this rank is too low, it may be because you remember (and should) his playoff performances with Dallas.  It was Brett Hull who scored the winning goal (and yes, Buffalo, it was a goal!) that got the Stars their first Stanley Cup.  It was Brett Hull who led the payoffs in scoring the following year and almost delivered them a second Cup.  It was the arrival of Brett Hull to the team that put them over the top from contender to champion. 

If you think this rank is just right, you may agree with us that both arguments are entirely valid.  We know for sure one thing, which is the rank that will generate the most debate from all of you!
