Best Players Outside the NHL

[BrettNYR]

He said outside of the NHL, not inside.

Bertuzzi is outside the NHL at the moment.

Hmm Norrena wasnt even the best goalie in the elite league this season I dont see how he could be the best player outside of the NHL.

Magnus Kahnberg and Johan Davidsson was the best players in Sweden this year ,and Petteri Nummelin was the best player in the EuroHockeyTour IMO.

 

[IFK]

Timo Parssinen, Ville Peltonen, Jere Karalahti, Toni Soderholm, Nicklas Backstrom. Kimmo Kuhta, Petteri Nummelin, Jarkko Immonen, Jari Viuhkola, Fredrik Norrena.

huh? Norrena was quite clearly the best goalie this season in the SEL.
Lundqvist started slow but came back pretty strong. Norrena however, was solid all season long and won countless of games for Linköping.

Does anyone know if Sushinsky plans to ever come back to the NHL?

I remember he left rather abruptly with the Wild although he started quite well.

Petteri Nummelin
Oleg Tverdovsky
Fredrik Norrena
Espen Knutsen

I thought Knutsen DID play a few games in the NHL this season.

I'm a fan of the guy...and it's a shame he hasnt been the same since a shot he took deflected into the stands and killed a young girl. I hope he makes it back to the bigs soon.

Other than that, thanks for the info folks! I wonder how good Gretzky is still???

 

[Korkki]

My pick is Ville Peltonen. He was really good in the Worlds.

I gave it some time, but I'm sorry, it had to be said.

Dustin Rose puts all hockey playing entities to shame.

Ewwww....Horrible, Horrible, Horrible, old old old joke there PhoPhan. I'm sickened by your sense (or lack of) humor.

Best player outside NHL

How about Dougie "Killer" Gilmour? He still has the goods to make an impact and deserved a better end than what he got, #93 forever. (plz note: I hate the Leafs)

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

In all seriousness, the best player outside the NHL isnt Dopita, it's Dmitri Yushkevich
