30. Dany Heatley

Statistically, Dany Heatley should merit a higher ranking, but in 2003, he crashed his car, which killed his friend and teammate, Dan Snyder, causing him to miss nearly a full season.  Heatley would request a trade from Atlanta to put the past behind him, thus alienating the fan base that stood by him who supported him through the tragedy.  
Makes it easy to drop a few spots, doesn’t it?

Still, this is a former Calder Trophy Winner who was a near Point per Game player, and doesn’t that warrant a spot on this list?
