This thread started because I remembered how much I loved Jussi Markannen, although he doesn't quite fit into the timeline I am posting about.
2007-2015 has been bad. It may continue on this way, but I honestly feel like 2016 is the season it starts to turn around.
We saw bust after bust in the form of JFJ, Schremp, MA Pouliot, Gilbert Brule, Robert, Nilsson etc
We saw Ethan Moreau, Shawn Horcoff, Fernando Pisani and Ales Hemsky fall apart in front of our eyes. Hometown Heroes.
We saw Belanger, Souray and Perron take shots that seem completely warranted now, but it wasn't very fun at the time.
That being said, we had a few gems while they were here.
Hemsky is one of my favorites but there's no room for him anymore.
Who do you miss? For me I'd love to see Teemu Hartikainen come back to the NHL. I can see him slotting in very well on the third or fourth line in NHL. Especially now that Lander has emerged as a solid NHL player.
Robert Nilsson did bring us some fantastic highlight reel goals as well, but I definitely don't miss rooting for him.
Andy Sutton is another beast of a player that I loved watching. Those dangles.
So HFOil, who do you miss the most?
