Easily Glenn Healy

 

[revolverjgw]

Adam Oates comes to mind.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

Luongo as soon as he retires...

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Adam Oates.

 

[How Ya Drouin]

It's probably Oates, but Ray Ferraro was a pretty good NHL player and I was amazed to see that in his last junior season he had 108 goals in 72 games

 

[CreamOfTheCrop]

Mathieu Darche

 

[Mattavarner]

Wasn't Kelly Hrudey in net for the Kings in their cup final run? But I agree oates is better

 

[Brewster]

It's Oates AINEC. And yes, AINEC is suitable in this context.

 

[SourGrapes]

Donald S. Cherry.

Oates is definitely the guy.

HM to Craig Simpson (though I guess he's more commentator than analyst). Could have put up bigger career numbers if he wasn't forced to retire due to back issues. 2 cup rings.

Ray Ferraro AINEC. Oatesy just racked up secondary assists, Ferraro scored like 100 more goals than him in way less games.

 

[BobbyShehan]

Isn't Guy Carbonneau an analyst on French TV? But in any case, Oates for sure.

That's the two that come to my mind as well.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

Aaron Ward

 

[KBobs]

Denis Potvin

 

[Philly85*]

the list is slim pickings if u ask me

 

[Kane One]

Denis Potvin

I think he works for Florida now.

 

[Primary Assist]

Tie Domi

 

[KBobs]

I think he works for Florida now.

He's back on with Florida as a colour commentator, but he still does the occasional studio special with Sportsnet (season preview shows, etc)

Yeah Ferraro was the first guy that came to mind for me.

But Oates was over a PPG player for his career in over 1300 games. That's pretty impressive. Gotta be AO here.

 

[Leafidelity]

Adam Oates was one of the best playmakers of the 90's. It's him by a great margin.

 

[Sarcastic]

Didn't even know Oates was an analyst now. Would have been him if I knew but I first thought Aaron Ward and then Ferraro.

Ray Ferraro once scored 108 goals in a single WHL season for the Brandon Wheat Kings, then was still drafted 88th overall in that year's NHL draft.

1980s....
