Boychuck - Went to school with him

Ovi - Not a lot of guys that play his style. If he isn't scoring, he is destroying guys.

Stoll(although with his nephew dying I don't know if he's even looking to play again) - His sequence against CAR years ago was just amazing

Luongo - I hated this guy at one time, but after the media bashing he took I started to like him when he was in VAN. Then he went to FLA a team I was indifferent on and became a twitter star too, so I had no problem cheering for him

I'm a big fan of skill, so I have a pretty long list of players I keep tabs on:
Obvious ones to follow - Crosby, Malkin, Ovie, Karlsson, Seguin, Stamkos, Tarasenko

Younger players I'm curious to see develop - Ekblad, Mackinnon, Drouin, Seth Jones, Barkov (big fan of that 2013 draft class lol), Matthews, Eichel, Laine

Other less obvious ones - Mikael Granlund, Shattenkirk, Tatar, Nyqvist

And finally ex Oilers I'm still curious about - Yakupov, Hall, Gagner, Hemsky

I'd expand my list to cover a guy like Lowry or Jenner. Guys who I was interested in around the draft time. There's also guys like Thrower or Rattie, but they aren't NHLers.

I knew I was forgetting someone.
And for basically the same reasons .

Hampus Lindholm - NHL's most underrated D
Patrice Bergeron - incredible two-way player
Jarome Iginla - appreciated his game forever
Roberto Luongo - overall just a hilarious and classy guy
Brendan Gallagher - love his battle and effort
Taylor Hall - can't forget him
Kyle Turris - underrated clutch guy
Phil Kessel - keeps proving the doubters wrong
Vladimir Tarasenko - just a hell of a guy to watch
Brent Burns - see Luongo
Nikita Kucherov - my favourite player in the league
Jonathan Drouin / Tyler Johnson / Ondrej Palat / Victor Hedman - man, what a fun team TB is

Many others I really love (Subban, I appreciate Gaudreau, Toews, Kopitar, Karlsson, Klingberg at peak level, Panarin etc.) but those take the cake.
