Ok, first of all, Jim Paek completely stinks. You could possibly say most accomplished or most victorious Asian Player, but calling him the greatest is outright ridiculous. He's a nice guy (he came to a church fair once in place of Ken Wregget...which is ******** but whatever, and signed me an autograph), but was never really a factor for the Pens. Yea, he had a goal in game 6 of the 91 cup and a sick goal at that. It was however, the 8th goal of what ended as an 8-0 win for the Pens. Mike Lange is basically laughing when he scores because at that moment...when Jimmy Paek started lighting the lamp...it was absolutely certain the Pens would win their first cup.
Further, I don't know if I can see any asian countries making a major impact in hockey. At least not for 25 years or so. I feel almost as though their body types would not be condusive with the style of play you see in hockey. Most Asian athletes would be attracted to soccer (if smaller/normal height), or pushed into basketball if tall. I guess it's possible, just not likely.
