To get away from the pessimism about the current roster, Who is your favorite player from any team excluding the Wings, and why? Have to say Henrik Lundqvist. Tremendous goalie, good guy, and Swedish. I love watching this video.

Zdeno Chara from the Bruins.
I met him a couple times when he played for the Kentucky Thoroughblades of the AHL, I'm 6'3" and dude made me feel like a midget standing next to him lol.

Think for yourself. Question authority. Throughout human history as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are or where we are going in this ocean of chance, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself.

I don't know why, but I think Matt Duchene is a pretty badass player. If not him, probably Milan Lucic.

Miguel Cabrera.
Edit: in all seriousness, that's a tough question. I honestly don't know if I have one at this point. There have been players that I've enjoyed outside of the Wings but they always seem to turn out to be assholes, whiners, or political martyrs.

Mark Fistric. Sad to see him resign.

Teemu Selanne. Great longevity and a backhand that goalies see in their nightmares. Incredible skills and playing at a high level past 40.
