Daniel Briere was another one of those undersized skilled forwards who had to rely on the non-physical part of the game of hockey.  Luckily he was pretty good at it!

Playing only for the Montreal Canadians during his NHL career, Andrei Markov has proven to be a dependable defenseman showcasing ample skill on both sides of the ice. Markov was selected to play in the NHL All Star Game twice in his career.

From the Czech Republic it could be argued that Vaclav “Vinny” Prospal did not live up to the potential that many hockey writers thought he would reach.  He wasn’t the most consistent player in his professional career, but this was still a player who was intense and found a role as a bit of agitator, that is when he wasn’t playmaking. 

Rafael Furcal was a former Rookie of the Year and built on that early success with three All Star appearances, 1,817 Hits, a World Series Ring and a 39.0 bWAR.  Furcal had decent speed (314 Stolen Bases), a good glove (14.4 Defensive bWAR) and was certainly an above average player but that gets him into the Hall of Pretty Good, though we are curious to see if he gets closer to five percent of the ballot or zero.
