I could be wrong but I think he means "best player to win zero awards" from that list.

Tough question... I can't think of anyone off the top of my head. Quite the brain teaser you got there.

Doesn't Mike Gartner have the distinction of being the only Hall of Famer without the Cup or individual award?

Could be (did Dino win anything?), but for this thread, he did win the Canada Cup in 1984.

I'm pretty sure Peter Stastny at some point won a World Championship right? If not, then he fits the bill for everything else.
If it isn't him, Jeremy Roenick looks to be the best player for this thread, although I guess it isn't the best thing to be associated with.
Edit: never mind, I see the Calder in the original post, Stastny won it in 1981

Well, like others have mentioned I think it comes down to Roenick, Turgeon, Federko and Nicholls. Throw in Peter Bondra's name too. I don't think he was on the 2002 Slovak team that won the World Championships - I don't think.
Brian Propp is a 1987 Canada Cup away from being on this list.
Darryl Sittler is a Canada Cup and a 1978 2nd team all-star away from being on this list too. I think he'd be #1 if he didn't have those two.

And it didn't even bring me down
1976 & 1977 - and was just one goal away in 1978.
But apparently it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Twice World Championship winner.
Jeremy Roenick gets my vote. An ankle injury kept him out of the 1996 World Cup.

Sean Burke is narrowly close to being on this list save for the 1997 Worlds and the 1991 Canada Cup which he was a third stringer.
I suppose being a back up goalie on a Stanley Cup winner still counts eh? If not, Andy Moog might be the best guy to choose from player or goalie

my first thought was cujo. but he was on the '02 olympic team and i'm pretty sure he won a WC gold too.
brian propp was another thought, but he was on the '88 canada cup team.
the only guy i can think of who might arguably be better than roenick is tim kerr.

I'm stunned that Roenick was never a first or second team all star. I know his best years he was competing with Gretzky and Lemieux, and then when Gretzky slowed down Lindros and Fedorov came on the scene, but I would have assumed he snuck a 2nd team selection in somewhere.
