Harold Ballard once made a quote about Inge Hammarstrom a winger for the Leafs in the mid 1970s. He said that he could go into the corner with a half dozen eggs and not break one of them. Funny quote, even if I didn't like Ballard, I have to admit he could be funny.
So it got me thinking, Hammarstrom literally was the most consistent 40 point guy in NHL history. Every season up until his last he had between 38-43 points. Even his last one he had 34. But he wasn't a great player, or even a very good player.
Who is a player, maybe even a HHOFer, who played the most "perimeter" game out there? Who may have played scared, never got involved physically, etc.
