gold star for USAHOF

36. Dylan Samberg

36. Dylan Samberg

A two-time NCAA Champion with the Minnesota Golden Gophers, Dylan Samberg was a Second Round Draft Pick by the Jets in 2017.  Samberg, who was drafted before his three-year run in Minnesota, was nearly NHL-ready when he signed his first contract with Winnipeg.

Samberg has thus far played four seasons with Winnipeg, and although he is not much of an offensive threat (although he did have 34 Points last year), his rock-hard defense has given Winnipeg two straight years of at least 110 Blocked Shots.

As Samberg just signed an extension with Winnipeg, he is likely to continue to climb this list.
