Will PMart make the top 30? Let’s ask him

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Hossa or Sykora for me.

Super short career for one here but a huge eye-opener regarding how effective a REAL linemate for Crosby could be.

The other was one of the very, very few skilled wings this team had in the early years. And meshed very well with Malkin... who was largely playing with whatever Shero could dig up from the dumpster most years.

Hossa or TK. TK dropped way down. If Bryan Rust is where he is, TK should be right around the same spot.

Btw if we are all still here, this will be extremely fun to do in like 5-10 years. I will be really interested to see how the list changes.

Couldn't agree more...voted for TK...dude should have already been on the list...

Definitely. He was one of the few guys, in his prime, that would have been a perfect 4th liner for Sully. That non-stop go go go attitude was crucial on that 3rd line w/ Staal. And still Hossa not on the list is crazy. Watching those 2008 games and how good he was... but technically he was only a rental so I guess I understand.

The one player I just do not understand on the list is Maatta. I love the dude's heart but as a player he hasn't really done anything and was actually cause for concern in our two runs. Not his fault as he ended up with every injury/disease a person can have. But still blows my mind he's above guys like TK/Colby/Billy G. Guys who actually impacted this team in a positive.

Yay Paul Martin finally got more than 1 vote!!

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

TK was a good role player, here. At one point I even thought MAYBE he could do more, earlier on in his tenure. But he was often a VERY ugly player to watch. And no that isn't a ManBearPig crack. I mean his game was often ugly. The guy could find a way to smash the logo with 3/4 of the net wide open.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

I didn't even recognize him without the big red beard. Nice looking fella
