43. Bill Houlder

Beginning his NHL career in 1987 with the Washington Capitals, Defenseman Bill Houlder would later play for Buffalo, Anaheim, St. Louis, and Tampa Bay, before joining Nashville early in the 1999/00 Season after being selected off of the Waiver Draft.

Houlder was in his early 30s by this time and did not have the same offensive capability, but the Defenseman was still a savvy player and still provided value to a young team.  Houlder played until the end of the 2002/03 Season, scoring 44 Points over 302 Games with the Predators.
