1. Jaromir Jagr -- get a haircut
2. Anthony Mantha -- we trade Jakub Vrana for this?
3. Martin Erat -- we trade Filip Forsberg for this?
4. Justin Williams -- Mr Game 7 my a**
5. Dale Hunter -- I'm sorry, but the Pierre Turgeon hit was a black mark for this franchise.
Also a poor coach.
6. Marcus Johanssen -- for years the organization put their faith in this guy and he never delivered
7. Micheal "Circles" Nylander -- shoot the puck! pass the puck! do something!
8. Adam Oates (coach) -- clueless and a player killer
9. Craig Berube -- an impressive mullet does not necessarily make you an impressive player. Never
understood why this guy was a fan favorite.
10. Alexander Semin (hey its my list, ok?) -- Nerd posing as a hockey player. Get some chest hair.
I should elaborate a little more on Semin: I just didn't see us winning a Cup with him, not in the top 6 at least. And in those days we were desperate for a Cup. He had all the skill, yes, but the physical presence and competitive fire just weren't there. You need to be the complete package as a top 6 player if you stand a chance of winning the Cup -- skill, size, determination, fire. Guys like OV, Nicky, Wilson, Knuble and Oshie. Semin would have been awesome in a bottom 6 role, but in the top 6 he was just standing in our way.
