38. Darren McCarty

Darren McCarty is one of the few players who can boast four Stanley Cup Rings with the Detroit Red Wings, hoisting the biggest trophy in hockey in 1997, 1998, 2002, and 2008.

McCarty was a Second Rounder in 1992, cracking the Red Wings lineup, making the lineup the following year.  A few years into his career as a shutdown grinder, the Canadian found his niche, using his elbows and tenacity to lock down the opposition's top line.  McCarty did manage two 40 Point years, totaling 275 as a Red Wing.
