Halak - 556 NHL GP (285 W)
Elliott - 521 GP (267 W)
Howard - 543 GP (246 W)

Stempniak - 911 GP (469 Pts)

Tobi Enstrom probably in tough here, because even at his peak (which was pretty long), he was such a sort of "quietly good" player. But i'd take him here. I can see the argument for Halak. He's had such an up and down career though. Really bright moments, and a lot of really mediocre stretches. It's a fair vote at this point, i just take Enstrom's solid stretch of quality Top-4D play, and borderline top-pairing caliber play instead.

Assuming we're back on draft day... I'd probably go Nathan Horton. Without knowledge of the concussions, he's the only top-line quality player I think is left.

Enstrom and Howard should be in the next three.
