8. Ryan Ellis

Ryan Ellis played his first ten years in the National Hockey League with the Nashville Predators, the team that selected him 11th Overall in 1999,

The Defenseman was somewhat of an enigma, as he had a physical style of play, despite not having an imposing size nor logging significant penalty minutes.  From 2013-14 to 2019-20, Ellis scored at least 20 Points, with a pair of 10-Goal campaigns.  

Ellis had 270 Points for the Preds over 562 Games.
