96. Ed Jovanovski

One of the better two way defensemen in Hockey, Ed Jovanovski is not the player that will put up monster point totals, but he will contribute and consistently shut down attackers. He is also one of those great teammates that does all the little things well and makes your team automatically better. In all likelihood when his career is over, Ed Jovanovski will likely not be considered for induction in Toronto, but he has a body of work that should make him closer to consideration than just his stats show.

128. Dan Boyle

A good offensive defenseman, Dan Boyle came into his own late in his career. Boyle became a two time All Star (and a second team post season All Star selection) after he helped the Tampa Bay Lightning win a Stanley Cup in 2004. Had Boyle come into his own in his early twenties it is possible that he may have had the statistical accumulation to be a serious threat for the Hall of Fame, although anyone with more than 100 Point Shares (he has 107.1) should have his name in the discussion.

Chris Pronger

Chris Pronger is a former Hart Trophy and Norris Trophy winner and would twice lead the National Hockey League in Plus/Minus while he was a member of the St. Louis Blues. Pronger would become a four time post-season All Star, a Stanley Cup Champion with the Anaheim Ducks and was a Olympic Gold Medalist with Canada.

180. Brian Rolston

Honestly, it is difficult to make a Hall of Fame case for Brian Rolston for the Hall of Fame, but we do tip our caps off to one of the most versatile players in hockey history. Rolston was comfortable at any forward position, and often quarterbacked the power play; a role usually given to defensemen. Rolston does have a Stanley Cup Ring and an All-Star appearance under his belt, so though enshrinement may be out of his grasp, his career has certainly been a rewarding one.
