Toronto Maple Leafs- Dion Phaneuf, Colton Orr, Jay Rosehill
Montreal Canadiens- Travis Moen
Ottawa Senators- Chris Neil, Zenon Konopka, Zack Smith, Daniel Alfredsson (Simply because you don't see many players stay with one organization their entire career much anymore.)
Buffalo Sabres- Patrick Kaleta (I hate when we play against him, but I'd love him on the team)
Boston Bruins- Gregory Campbell, Adam McQuaid, Shawn Thornton, Nathan Horton

[haroldsnepsts]

Off the top of my head, so it's probably skewed towards Western conference and guys who've been in the league a while since I don't get to watch as much hockey as I used to.

Vancouver - Kesler (less so since the diving). I thought he had matured but I think the culture of that team doesn't help him.

Los Angeles - Kopitar, Greene, Quick

Ducks - Selanne

Flyers - Simmonds, Carle, Pronger (It's a love hate relationship)

Tampa Bay - Brewer, Roloson, St. Louis

Hawks - Mayers, O'Donnell, Toews

Preds - Weber

Caps - Vokoun

[GMRwings1983]

There's honestly only a few players in the whole league that I like. If we were talking all time, it'd be much easier for me to list plenly of names. Here's all I can think of nowadays:

Ovechkin
Jagr
McGrattan
Ivanans
Lilja
Bogosian
Avery
St. Louis
Stamkos
MacIntyre

I'll just make a quick one here.

My 2 favourite non wings in the league are probably Jamie Benn and Ryan Getzlaf. Benn is going to be a stud in a year or two.

Next in line might be Prust. Hes a UFA after this season and I really hope the wings pursue him big time. 30 points and 160 pims last year. Throw him on a line with Helm and Abdelkader and sparks will FLY.

Giroux also has a nasty set of mitts on him, after Datsyuk I think theyre the best in the league.

But seriously if Holland could get Prust for 2.5 Million I would be all for it after this year.

[jollymania]
